Help a teen take the next step.

Bring transformational learning to life.
Support Got Skills, Scholarship Success, Fun to Funds, or our girls’ programs: She’s T.H.A.T. Girl and Confidence Conversations & Cupcakes. Help with facilitation, learning materials, or program delivery.
Help her see what she can become.
Help make the planned She’s T.H.A.T. Girl visit to Texas Woman’s University and the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership possible for girls ages 13–18. Discuss transportation, meals, materials, and participation needs. Trip date and sponsorship budget will be confirmed with DPA.
Put tools in students’ hands.
Offer working laptops or technology for our AI Tech workshops, or discuss funding equipment and learning resources. Share device quantity, condition, and specifications so DPA can confirm suitability and arrange a handoff.
Bring your strengths to the mission.
Offer workshop space, professional expertise, supplies, meals, volunteer support, or career exposure. Schools, businesses, churches, and community organizations can help open doors for teens.
Sponsorships are tailored to current needs and your goals. Contact DPA for available opportunities, a confirmed budget, and an agreed scope. Financial and in-kind support are both welcome.
A PARTNERSHIP WITH PURPOSE
From your commitment
to a student’s next step.
- Choose an opportunity. Tell us which students, program, trip, or technology need you want to support.
- Build the plan with DPA. We’ll discuss current needs, contribution amount or in-kind details, timing, and recognition before confirming the sponsorship.
- Make your commitment. Use the donation link for general giving. For a specific sponsorship, contact DPA first to confirm how your contribution will be applied.
- Stay connected. Discuss program updates and a recap suited to the sponsorship, including what was delivered, participation, and student learning where available.
RECOGNITION & ACCOUNTABILITY
Let’s build a meaningful partnership.
Recognition options to discuss include a partner logo on our website, a social media thank-you, or acknowledgment at a supported program or event. Opportunities depend on the sponsorship and will be agreed with DPA.
Student privacy comes first. Student names, photos, stories, or direct contact are not promised as sponsorship benefits.
