EDUCATION
DOC Cares knows that it takes a village to prepare students for success in their communities today, and in universities or the modern workforce tomorrow. We are steadfast in our commitment to equipping students for the careers of the future, and to help them to become critical thinkers, collaborators and lifelong learners.
CIVIC & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
DOC Cares supports civic engagement through programs that focus on building partnerships between schools, families and local organizations, strengthening democracy through local government, and creating more equitable communities.
GUN VIOLENCE & REFORM
DOC Cares takes a public health approach to gun violence prevention, by addressing the unique needs of the community where systemic racism, disinvestments, and trauma occur. Through our network of partner organizations, we endeavor to provide individual and policy advocacy, counseling, education and job training that prioritize our communities' voices in the fight against gun violence.
FINANCIAL EQUITY
A more just, inclusive, and equitable world is possible when we give everyone an equal chance to achieve their goals. We have prioritized partnerships, methods and means of training and enabling those who create Cultural Capital to generate, manage and grow their Financial Capital.
INITIATIVE SPOTLIGHT
THE DREAMS EXPERIENCE ACADEMY:
A New Approach to Education with Media, Technology and Innovation
The Dreams Experience Academy ("DEA") is a pioneering educational initiative designed to provide under-championed youth - beginning in Southern Dallas region - with practical skills and pathways into high-growth creative and STEM-based industries, such as Media, Technology, and Entertainment.
Through this initiative, we have developed a curriculum that is as comprehensive as it is innovative, tailored to introduce students to real-world career paths in industries often viewed as out of reach. Supported by seed funding and support from the Dallas Regional Chamber and the Dallas Foundation, we’re proud to have secured vital resources that will help bring this ambitious curriculum to life.
OUR PARTNERS
We're Building A "Coalition Of The Willing."
DOC Cares partners with leading mission-aligned research and educational institutions, foundations, corporations, and other organizations to create and implement innovative solutions that empower communities, enhance learning experiences, and drive positive societal change.
