Cherish Our Children Inc. (COCI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to create sustainable solutions for vulnerable children. Historically, COCI has supported projects for vulnerable children around the world, but its most recent and notable program has focused on children of incarcerated parents. These services are provided through the Gaining Empowerment in Middle School (GEMS) program, the only program in Houston focused exclusively on middle school-aged children of incarcerated parents. The schools currently offering GEMS are in low-performing areas with student populations that are between 86-97% Black or Hispanic and are in communities where Census Bureau research predicts that 1-in-5 male students will be incarcerated as adults. All the students at the schools qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program, 21% demonstrate limited English proficiency, and 60-73% of students are at risk of dropping out.

COCI has strategically refined and enhanced the Gaining Empowerment in Middle School (GEMS) program. It is the only program in Houston focused exclusively on middle school-aged children of incarcerated parents. GEMS provides curriculum-based, in-school classes focusing on a peer-to-peer, discussion-based model that emphasizes self-discovery and strengthens nine proven cognitive, social, and emotional skills sets to empower youth leadership. During FY 2022, we purchased a new social and emotional learning software that is more user-friendly. This software provides our instructors with additional resources to increase student engagement, as well as enhanced data assessment and reporting features. As a result, this software will further help the GEMS program become more operationally sound.Lastly, during 2022, the GEMS program successfully and effectively provided social and emotional learning opportunities across 6 campuses for 72 at-risk students and their families in the Houston Independent School District, Channelview Independent School District and Aldine Independent School District. In addition to providing services to our youth, ancillary information and referral support services to other community-based organizations was also provided to support the families of the participating students.

COCI provides funding for the Little Blue Schools/Las Escuelitas Azules program located in Reynosa, Mexico. The program provides access to education, food, healthcare, potable water and shelter in a poverty-stricken community just a few miles from the U.S. border. The community was established by migrant workers several years ago and had no educational services. The program builds small, affordable school buildings and provides tutors, food and school supplies, partnering with government agencies, which provide teachers, and the local community, which helps determine the school needs.
