About this organization
Mission
Seedling's mission is to mitigate the impact of parental incarceration on children in Central Texas through school based mentoring.
About
The foundation launched its mentor program in February 2006 for children who are affected by the incarceration of one or both of their parents. The foundation recruits volunteers from the community, matches them with eligible children, and offers ongoing support to both children and mentors. The mentors provide stable, long-term relationships for the students and help them develop and maintain positive attitudes towards school. During the 2018/2019 school year, Seedling served 653 students in K-12. 63% of these children were in elementary school, 29% were in middle school, and 8% were in high school. 19% African American, 67% Hispanic, 4% Caucasian, and 8% two or more races. 52% of mentees were male and 48% of mentees were female. Seedling had children in 9 school districts, and 122 schools.
