The Texas Cares for Children program was created to address social inequality on a peer-to-peer level, through leadership development, community partnerships and cultural training. Texas Cares For Children strives to bring life skills, values education, and leadership into schools; demonstrating the importance of setting personal and educational goals; teaching students how to stand up to negative peer pressure and turn it into positive peer pressure and establishing lifelong healthy practices. The initial program was developed in 1993 through collaborative efforts with the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse, and won the endorsement of former President George Bush and then Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander. Texas Cares For Children is a 501(c)(3) not for profit charity.
Texas Cares For Children’s peer mentoring program empowers American youth to achieve their personal and professional goals while providing a forum in which to express their opinions, talent, and intelligence at the same time instilling a spirit of community service through a variety of unique community-based programs. The concept is to help each individual participant develop and improve his or her capabilities through instruction and training which in turn benefits the community as a whole. By sharing a platform about which an individual is passionate, each participant not only teaches, but learns.
