What We Do

Nearly one out of every four people in Central-Southwest Houston is without a high school diploma.  One out of every three households lives below the federal poverty level. The majority of students at these schools are considered at-risk of dropping out of school.

Central-Southwest Houston contains a collection of subdivisions separated by underdeveloped land, old land fills, and many heavy industries. The neighborhoods are plagued with unemployment, single-parent homes, gang violence, juvenile delinquency, reduction in home ownership, and high school drop-outs. According to the 2000 Census, the population is 42,000, of which 15,000 are children (ages 0-19).

In collaboration with the Houston ISD south region and other local partners, we propose to provide students, teachers and parents with programs and resources to combat the challenges associated with at-risk behaviors, student drop-outs, and poor attendance/tardiness. The approach includes incentives, preventative interventions that target the larger community via after school programs, athletics programs and character education programs. And for every student we encounter, our goal is to ensure that they will set educational and career goals and make every effort to reach those goals.

Over the past two years, in the San Francisco area, Moran has “adopted” two group of students in the Brother2Brother/Sister2Sister Mentoring Program and Brothers Against Guns as part of his Foundation’s initiatives. Norris hosts the youngsters at 49ers games, provides them with financial support and teaches them the importance of life skills, education, goal setting, hard work and good character.
