Education is a valuable asset. A good education is the foundation for a child’s success in work and in life, and high school graduation is a major milestone on a youth’s path to adulthood.
There is a clear role that out-of-school-time programs can play in helping children develop the skills they need to succeed in schools. By aligning service learning programs with schools and creating more opportunities for literacy education, we can help close the achievement gap of students in our community. We make a difference in identifying root causes of poor education.
DCCR delivers programs critical to helping young people learn and succeed and to build citizens for societal change. Diverse young people ages 5-16 is the target group across the Dallas metroplex.
