A grant from CapCityKids has enabled our school to fulfill the dream of educating every child who walks through these doors. The funding of a math specialist has supported our efforts to raise the achievement level of our homeless and at-risk students. Students and their families gain hope when school becomes a successful experience. In turn, the likelihood increases that these young people will stay in school-and break the cycle of homelessness.
The mission and accomplishments of CapCityKids inspired me to take a more active role in the organization. When asked to serve on the Board, I enthusiastically agreed!

"This school year, I've made unbelievable strides both as a student and as a teen mom of a 6-month old little girl."
CapCityKids (The Capital City Fund for Education) is a non-profit organization created to help children facing homelessness beat the odds and get a quality education. CapCityKids develops innovative programs and provides direct resources to help these students stay in school. Administrative costs for our programs are absorbed by the Austin Independent School District. Thanks to this close partnership, 100% of your donations go directly to the students. Your donations not only provide basic school supplies, but also support campus based specialist for at-risk students, after-school tutoring at homeless shelters, and help connect kids with social services.
Join us for Read Write Rock!, an evening at Antone's benefiting Cap City Kids on Thursday, April 29. It's an evening of great music to help kids throughout Austin. To become a sponsor or more information, click here.
