BENEFITING CHARITY

Empower7.org

Founded in 2018, Empower 7 is a Christian faith-based organization created for the sole purpose of empowering the lives of vulnerable, at-risk youth in North Texas. Critical to our vision and mission is to build The Empower 7 Ranch, a safe, serene group home for youth, ages 18 years and under, whose need for care and treatment cannot be met safely and effectively by their families or in a traditional foster family setting. Our goal at The Ranch is to provide residential, educational, and community services to ensure youth are prepared for adulthood, form healthy connections with society, and know God’s love and grace.

While faithfully planning for The Empower 7 Ranch, we are working to close the gaps that prevent youth from thriving. Our Blessings and Growth Programs are designed to address the immediate or emergency needs of vulnerable, at-risk youth while providing them with learning experiences to shape their future.
