Even Start Family Literacy Grant Program
The purpose
of this program is to increase a child's potential for later school
success by providing parents with child-development information,
teaching parents interactive activities to do with their child,
providing parents with comprehensive family-literacy services,
providing access to other social services, and coordinating services
that are culturally appropriate and family-focused. Program emphases
are on prenatal, infant' and early-childhood stages; GED; English as a
Second Language instruction; and family literacy. Collaborating
partners, who will provide a broad range of in-kind services as part
of the cost share, are AVANCE, Children’s Museum of Houston, Depelchin
Children’s Center, and Houston Community College System.
The primary objective of the program's adult-education component is to
help parents improve their living conditions and to prepare those who
are interested in joining the workforce. This program is committed to
working closely with community organizations. For more information
contact the program coordinator Ms. Ortiz at (713) 295-5223.
