Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our mission is to create and fund projects and programs that will provide a brighter future for the world's most vulnerable children.

Dating back to its launch in 2021, The Gaining Empowerment in Middle School Program (GEMS) continues to gain momentum, as more schools are requesting our services at their campuses. During FY 2022, we purchased a new social, emotional learning software that is more user friendly. This new software offers our instructors additional resources for better classroom engagement, data assessment and reporting. The GEMS program has successfully and effectively provided social and emotional learning opportunities across 6 campuses, for 72 at-risk students and their families in the Houston Independent School District, Channelview Independent School District and Aldine School District. In addition to providing services to our youth, ancillary information and referral services are also provided to support the families of the participating students.

IRS990/Desc0COCI has strategically refined and enhanced the Gaining Empowerment in Middle School (GEMS) program. It is the only program in Houston focused exclusively on middle school-aged children of incarcerated parents. GEMS provides curriculum-based, in-school classes focusing on a peer-to-peer, discussion-based model that emphasizes self-discovery and strengthens nine proven cognitive, social, and emotional skills sets to empower youth leadership. During FY 2022, we purchased a new social and emotional learning software that is more user-friendly. This software provides our instructors with additional resources to increase student engagement, as well as enhanced data assessment and reporting features. As a result, this software will further help the GEMS program become more operationally sound.Lastly, during 2022, the GEMS program successfully and effectively provided social and emotional learning opportunities across 6 campuses for 72 at-risk students and their families in the Houston Independent School District, Channelview Independent School District and Aldine Independent School District. In addition to providing services to our youth, ancillary information and referral support services to other community-based organizations was also provided to support the families of the participating students.
