Our Partners

Bachman Lake Together was founded by the Zero to Five Funders Collaborative on the principle that we can all achieve more when we work together.  We partner with community members, local education institutions, nonprofits, medical providers and government institutions to collectively work to prepare every child for kindergarten – academically, socially, and emotionally – so they can thrive in school and in life. 

Bachman Lake Together started as a collaboration between four incredible organizations, which all specialize in helping Hispanic families and their young children reach their highest potential. 

Founding Collaborative Partners

 

AVANCE North Texas empowers underserved families to reach their highest potential. To create pathways to economic mobility for predominately Latino families through high quality, culturally responsive, two-generation programming that ensures school-readiness for young children and opportunities for parents to build social and economic capital.
