Our Work
When equity is priority, it’s a matter of justice. Trauma in children creates inequity. Inequity fuels injustice. Dr. Ivy Bonk
Generation One champions systemic change in early childhood and youth education. Our goal is to create an equitable landscape, that creates high-quality opportunities to learn and grow, no matter what zip code a child lives in. Our vision is to impact the future of Houston by empowering children and families to realize their fullest potential. Working in the Third Ward, Generation One is a living laboratory for education research and development. With high-quality early education, engaging after-school programming, and family support, Generation One is helping children and families thrive.
Our kids are brilliant. You can help them shine. Donate here
