CASE for Kids 2026-2027 PARTNERSHIP PROJECT

The Center for Afterschool, Summer and Enrichment for Kids, or CASE for Kids, is a division of Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) that was formed in 1999. The vision of CASE for Kids is to ensure that every child in Harris County will have access to high-quality, expanded learning opportunities. CASE for Kids believes a quality out-of-school time program provides avenues for opportunities for youth to excel, explore and expand their horizons before school, after school, on weekends and during the summer. A quality program provides a safe and inclusive environment, diverse learning opportunities, effective administrative strategies, collaborative relationships, and intentional program promotion.

Partnership Project’s goal is to provide supplemental funding for comprehensive

afterschool programs to promote social and emotional learning (SEL) skills, increase support of numeracy and

literacy development for economically disadvantaged students between the ages of 4 and 12 or up to the age

of 19 with a documented disability.

Through collaboration with Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), the Partnership Project has historically received supplemental resources such as site visits, training, and access to curricula and materials through a free lending library. The Partnership Project will certify funding for leveraging additional resources.
