Mission and Program Overview

Mission

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.
