Partnerships for Children was founded in 2003 to bridge the gap between limited government resources and the growing needs of children and families in the care of Child Protective Services (CPS) by providing necessity items like diapers, clothing, and beds to children and families from resource rooms located in CPS offices in Austin and Waco. They help connect families interested in adoption to children in the care of CPS who seek relational permanency, and east the transition into adulthood and independence for youth involved in the child welfare system through mentoring support, life-skills training, and financial education, as well as one-on-one mentoring relationships through music lessons.
