WHAT WE DO
Reconnecting Youth with Opportunity
Young people are disappearing from schools, the community, and from the workforce.
By creating inclusive, supportive pathways for youth who have been historically underserved and excluded by traditional education systems, we provide opportunities to complete their education and access meaningful employment. These efforts are especially critical in reducing recidivism among young people impacted by the justice system in Houston.
Why Eight Million Stories?
We give students a fighting chance to change their trajectory and succeed.
We improve student outcomes through authentic connections.
We understand unique lived experiences.
We believe love is the foundation, the root, and can be transformational.
We know it takes a village - students, staff, families, and the community work together.
The truth is, we all deserve opportunities for learning and growing.
You can make a difference.
From volunteer tutoring to skills training to monetary donations, your contributions will change lives. Join us today in breaking the cycle.
