Make a difference

Join us in our mission of transforming the lives of Houston’s vulnerable youth.

Eight Million Stories is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit based in Texas. Your support is 100% tax-deductible. Be sure to keep a receipt of your contribution for your records.

Our theory of change is that by providing disconnected youth who have been pushed out of our school system, with an opportunity to complete their education and obtain sustainable employment, we will drastically reduce the recidivism rates of justice involved youth in the city of Houston. Furthermore, the success of our program will assist school districts in finding alternative pathways for students who are not succeeding in traditional school settings.

Smaller numbers, but a deeper impact.

At 8 Million Stories, we believe in the power of community and the individual. Together, we can support the youth of our community in becoming their best selves, in making the changes they want to see in their communities, and in building their futures.

Your donations help us meet this goal through everything from uniform purchases to textbooks to snacks for the road. No matter how much you can spare, your donation helps us build a better tomorrow for vulnerable youth in our community. So let us be the first to say: thank you.
