Equity Statement
At the Schooling Encouragement Foundation, equity is not an ideal—it is a commitment. We believe every child, regardless of race, ethnicity, income, ability, language, or ZIP code, deserves access to the tools, support, and encouragement needed to thrive.
We recognize that historical and systemic inequities have created barriers for many students in under-resourced communities. SEF is dedicated to breaking those barriers by:
Delivering programs that are culturally responsive and inclusive
Prioritizing support in affordable housing neighborhoods across Dallas–Fort Worth
Listening to families and incorporating their voices into program design
Ensuring our staff and partners reflect the diverse communities we serve
Through intentional action, authentic partnerships, and continuous reflection, we strive to create spaces where every child feels seen, valued, and empowered—in the classroom and beyond.
