We Run Community Centers And Build Relationships To Create Spaces For Transformation

What We Do

We utilize community centers to be present, run after-school programming, build relationships, and provide resources, with the goal of creating spaces for transformation.

Why it Matters

The percentage of economically disadvantaged children in the Dallas ISD that read at or above their grade level by 3rd grade.

The median annual income in our communities is $12,000. That is 81% below the national average.

The average income of a family in our communities is 68% below the poverty line in Texas.

The percentage of all families in Dallas that live below the poverty line.

“Since my baby has been involved with Behind Every Door, she has been more open to expressing how she feels, is more active, and has a lot of goals and things she wants to achieve when she gets older. I personally like the fact that Ms. Cierra lets the children know they can do and be whatever their hearts desire, as long as they stay focused and work for it … Thanks BED and Ms. Cierra!”
