Help Rainbow Days serve over 15,000 children, youth and families by pitching in for the annual North Texas Giving Day event!
Now through September 19 at midnight, every gift of $25 and above made to Rainbow Days will be MATCHED TWO-TO-ONE.
The mission of Rainbow Days is to support and improve the mental, emotional and behavioral health of children and youth who are experiencing trauma, adversity, poverty, and homelessness.
Through adult mentorship and research backed programs, Rainbow Days strives to help children and youth learn vital coping and decision-making skills, so that they have the tools necessary to break negative cycles, create lasting change, and build a positive and healthy future.
Since its founding in 1982, Rainbow Days has expanded to offer services across Texas, in multiple U.S. states and 3 countries. In Dallas alone, Rainbow Days has served 265,000 children and youth and counting.
This year, Rainbow Days will expand our service offerings to benefit even more children, youth and families. We partner with over 65 local schools, school districts, shelters, community centers, domestic violence shelters and juvenile detention centers to serve kids right where they are.
Our programs:
- Prevention Education and Skill Development through Curriculum-Based Support Groups and other curricula
- Emotional support, guidance and resource referrals from trained and caring Staff
- Camps & Mentored events for children experiencing homelessness
- Presentations and Health Fairs to promote positive Mental Health & Behavioral Health practices
