ABOUT FAMILIES EMPOWERED Families Empowered is a community-based, women- and minority-led non-profit parent service organization that envisions, one day, all families will have access to schools that work, for them. With a leadership team and staff comprised of multiple first-generation college graduates, we deeply understand the importance of empowered parents, and the positive impact they can have on Texas communities. Each year we reach out to tens of thousands of families in Houston, San Antonio, Tarrant County, and Austin through in-person events, our bi-lingual call center, text, and social media, and provide them with free, personalized support to help them navigate their many great PreK-12 school options.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES Integrity: Conduct all affairs with parents, partners, staff, and donors with integrity and transparency. We are scrupulous and brutally honest about performance data, and courageous in sharing “lessons learned” with those who might benefit from our missteps or help us correct them.
Value Creation: Ensure that all our actions focus on creating maximum value for families we serve and are oriented toward empowering others to improve their lives. Hold yourself and others accountable.
Empathy. Honor each other and lead with understanding; although we work at scale to solve an urgent problem, we strive for quality, personalized interactions with our customers and each other.
Humility: Exemplify humility and intellectual honesty. Constantly seek to understand and constructively deal with reality.
Optimism: Face questions and challenges with hopefulness and confidence. Maintain a sense of possibility when serving families and each other.
Listening: Seek input from our customers as frequently as possible in order to deepen and broaden our relevancy and impact.
Collaboration: Understand that we alone cannot provide everything that families need to access excellent schools; we initiate and maintain strategic partnerships and collaborations with like-minded organizations.
