Needs

For more than 33 years, CHILDREN AT RISK has been the voice for children and families who are affected by poverty; food insecurity; lack of health insurance and access to quality medical care; inadequate educational opportunities, including early childhood education; and human trafficking.

CHILDREN AT RISK is choosing to fight for more than normal. We are focused on the holistic needs of children in North Texas and across the state; we educate our leaders in industry and government and advocate for policies that improve the lives of all our children and their families. Today, we are transforming the ways we serve the seven million-plus Texas children.

Please consider supporting our efforts to speak and drive change for children with a gift today!

Equity Statement

Our goal is to improve equity and justice for all Texas children and families and to find solutions for problems that disproportionately affect communities of color. We do this by collecting data to identify inequities, collaborating for community-driven solutions, and advocating for equitable systems.

CHILDREN AT RISK has also identified diversity, equity, and inclusion as a core organizational value. We believe the power of diversity enriches us all by exposing us to a range of ways to understand and engage with the world, identify challenges, and discover, design, and deliver solutions. CHILDREN AT RISK is committed to attracting and retaining a diverse staff and board and to honor their experiences, perspectives, and unique identities; and strives to create and maintain working and learning environments that are inclusive, equitable and welcoming.
