We provide free, one-on-one help in English and Spanish to all families to help them navigate Texas school choice and find a school where their kids can succeed.

“Look for people who can help you and who are willing to go to your community and help you, and have faith that your kids will be accepted to a school of your choice.”

Odila Aguirre

“When you dare to search for a better education for your children, they will find the support that they need to reach their goals.”

Flor Montoya

“After speaking with Families Empowered, I learned about other school options including KIPP, YES Prep, and Harmony. I had never heard of these schools before, and so I wasn’t sure if they were the right fit for my kids. Now that I’ve been through the process, I feel that I am in a better position to investigate and consider school options.”

Adriana Roque

“The work that Families Empowered does is a huge help. As a parent I only know of the schools that I’m zoned to, I didn’t know of any other schools in my area. I wasn’t aware that there were any other options. I didn’t think I had a choice.”

Maria Sanchez

“Parents should have access to help. Sometimes, though, parents don’t even know that organizations like Families Empowered exist. Not all children are the same. As a parent, you want a better future for your kids. By placing my children in a school that sets rules, teaches them to be more respectful, and helps them to become more responsible young people, I believe I am helping them to succeed.”
