Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO SUPPORT CHILDREN CHALLENGED BY PARENTAL INCARCERATION WITH INNOVATIVE, RESEARCH DRIVEN, SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING IN AUSTIN AND SELECTED SITES IN THE SURROUNDING CENTRAL TEXAS AREA.
SEEDLING'S MISSION IS TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF PARENTAL INCARCERATION ON CHILDREN IN CENTRAL TEXAS THROUGH SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING.
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 2019/2020 SCHOOL YEAR, SEEDLING MATCHED, TRAINED AND SUPPORTED MENTORS TO MEET WITH 682 STUDENTS IN K-12. 65% OF THESE CHILDREN WERE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 26% WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND 8% WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL. 77% OF THE STUDENTS ATTENDED SCHOOLS IN AUSTIN ISD. IN TOTAL, SEEDLING MENTORS HAD A PRESENCE IN 125 SCHOOLS IN CENTRAL TEXAS. 97% OF THE CHILDREN MENTORED WERE CONSIDERED FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED, AND 95% OF THE CHILDREN WERE HISPANIC, AFRICAN AMERICAN OR MULTI RACE.
