As we continue to build educational and career opportunities for our youth, our STEAM initiatives are opening up a world of transformative experiences in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, drones, and other innovative technologies.
“Our communities in the southern sector of Dallas need these types of innovative programs… Kids asked me if the STEAM program was coming back, and I would definitely want to continue this next year at more recreation centers.”
Our Community STEAM Expos introduce youth and community members to exciting STEAM careers and skills, including artificial intelligence, health, sports medicine, forestry, and more. By bringing these opportunities directly to the communities we serve, we provide hands-on experiences and inspire the next generation of innovators from diverse backgrounds across the region.
Through launching redesigned STEAM initiatives, we focused on bringing our programming into the communities we serve, bringing new hands-on learning experiences to more youth.
Introduced community members from 176 Texas zip codes to STEAM careers and skills including artificial intelligence, health, sports medicine, forestry and more.
STEAM Program Attendee increased from 2023-2024.
Students participated in STEAM activities ranging from basketball analytics and engineering to lotion making and virtual reality (VR) space travel.
The holidays should bring joy and connection—but for many families in our community, food insecurity makes this season a struggle.
The T.D. Jakes Foundation is taking action to ensure no family we serve faces the holidays hungry. This campaign supports 270+ TORI families and other TDJF participants in need, building on our commitments to food access, workforce development, and community transformation.
Your gift helps fill empty tables and restore dignity. Every dollar provides immediate support—grocery gift cards, hot meals, and pantry essentials—while also investing in long-term solutions like workforce training, financial empowerment, and sustainable food systems.
Together, we can make sure every family we serve has what they need to thrive this season and beyond.
