A big problem needs a big solution.
Across the five communities we serve—Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio—about 5,000 students drop out of high school each year.
That’s been the story for more than 10 years.
Each one of those students has a story; more important, each has a future.
Their future is why we exist.
