Our vision is that one day, all families will have access to schools that work, for them. The organization is one of the pioneers of 'demand-side' parent engagement strategies and is the only organization in texas focused on helping resource-constrained parents understand and access all their school options (private, traditional isd, magnet, and charter). For ten years, families empowered has built relationships with parents to help them navigate their k-12 school options, conversation-by-conversation, call-by-call. Their service has been rewarded: parents have consistently told the organization that, other than friends and family, families empowered is the source of information about schools they trust and find helpful above all others.
