Help Children Build a Strong Foundation for Success
Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed in school and throughout life. But what happens in the classroom is only part of what makes that success possible.
From arriving at kindergarten ready to learn, to managing anxiety or getting back on track after a mistake, children need the right support at every stage.
This North Texas Giving Day, your gift to Lena Pope will help children and families access the education, counseling, and behavioral support they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
For nearly a century, Lena Pope has responded to the changing needs of children and families in our community through prevention and early intervention. Today, our counseling, education, and behavior intervention programs serve thousands of children and families each year.
Your Gift Helps Children and Families When They Need It Most
Preparing Children for School
High-quality early education helps children develop more than academic skills. At Lena Pope's Early Learning Centers, children build the social and emotional skills, confidence, and independence that help prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.
But the rising cost of childcare can put that opportunity out of reach for many families. State subsidies are limited and often have long waiting lists, and the average annual cost of infant childcare in Texas has risen to more than $10,000.
Your support helps Lena Pope offer reduced tuition rates for low- and middle-income families, giving more children access to high-quality early education while providing parents with reliable care so they can work or go to school.
Helping Children and Teens Navigate Mental Health Challenges
Anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and other challenges can affect every part of a child's life, including their ability to succeed at school.
For families who are uninsured, underinsured, or simply unable to afford the full cost of counseling, getting help can be difficult. Lena Pope provides flexible payment options based on income so financial circumstances don't have to stand between a family and the care they need.
Your gift helps bridge the gap between what families can afford and the cost of providing high-quality counseling.
Helping Young People Get Back on Track
Everyone makes mistakes. But for a young person, one mistake can have consequences that reach far into the future.
Lena Pope's behavioral intervention programs work with youth and their families, including nonviolent first-time offenders, to develop skills, strengthen relationships, make positive choices, and help prevent further involvement in the juvenile justice system.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift helps ensure young people and their families have support when they need a second chance and a path forward.
The Right Support at the Right Time Can Make All the Difference
Whether it's a young child preparing for kindergarten, a student struggling with anxiety, or a teenager who needs help getting back on track, Lena Pope is there to help children and families build a strong foundation for the future.
Make your North Texas Giving Day gift today and help more children in our community access the support they need to reach their full potential.
