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.

To empower families to engage in a marketplace of schools.

IRS990/Desc0FAMILIES EMPOWERED IS A SERVICE ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES ONGOING/YEAR-ROUND SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES IN HOUSTON, TX AND SAN ANTONIO, TX. THERE WERE OVER 35,000 WAITLISTED CHARTER SCHOOL APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR. IN 2014 FAMILIES EMPOWERED REACHED OUT TO 8,572 FAMILIES AND CONNECTED WITH 5,968 FAMILIES DURING OUR SUMMER CALL CENTER. WE HELD FOUR (4) SCHOOL CONNECTION FAIRS AT WHICH A TOTAL OF 1,525 PARENTS AND STUDENTS WERE IN ATTENDANCE. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDED MANY DIFFERENT SCHOOLS WITH "HOT PROSPECTS" FOR THEIR UNFILLED SEATS GOING INTO THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR VIA OUR OPEN SEAT CAMPAIGNS. FAMILIES EMPOWERED ENTERED INTO A DATA-SHARING AGREEMENT WITH ANOTHER OPERATOR IN HOUSTON AND WE EXPECT TO SERVE AN ADDITIONAL 8,000-10,000 HOUSTON-AREA FAMILIES AS A RESULT IN 2015. WE EXPANDED TO SAN ANTONIO IN 2014 AND EXPECT TO SERVE UPWARDS OF 4,000 FAMILIES IN 2015-16. SAN ANTONIO HAS ATTRACTED A NUMBER OF EXCELLENT CHARTER OPERATORS; HOWEVER, WE EXPECT THOSE SCHOOLS TO QUICKLY FILL TO CAPACITY, LEAVING FAMILIES WITH NO DISCERNABLE ALTERNATIVES. FAMILIES EMPOWERED IDENTIFIED THIS NEED AND MOVED QUICKLY TO FILL IT BY HELPING FAMILIES NAVIGATE THE SAN ANTONIO EDUCATION MARKET. FAMILIES EMPOWERED ENTERED INTO DATA-SHARING AGREEMENTS WITH TWO SCHOOL NETWORKS, THROUGH WHICH WE WILL SERVE WAITLISTED FAMILIES THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND A SEAT AT A HIGH QUALITY SCHOOL.
