Anthem Strong Families is a 17 year old 501.c.3 in Dallas, Texas working with under-resourced populations with the mission to educate, equip and empower men, women and youth to be the champion for their life, their marriage, their children and their family, serving both English and Spanish speaking populations. The Dallas area, unfortunately, has the largest childhood poverty rate in the country along with one of the largest disenfranchised youth populations. Over 180,000 children in the Dallas area are living without their father in their home. 

To date, ASF has been the recipient of over $35 million in Federal and state funding, having served over 50,000 families partnering with dozens of state and local government entities, schools, churches, hospitals and community entities, private and public organizations. During the past 15 years, ASF has grown to a staff of over 28 people serving several dozens of partner locations throughout the Dallas metroplex and covers 8 counties. Current Federal funding for over $15 million has been awarded to ASF for two grants. Our Family Champions project offers healthy relationships and family strengthening targeting women and men who are not dads.

The TYRO Champion Dads project works to bring workforce, fatherhood and family strengthening to under-resourced area dads. Additionally, we serve as one of the sites for the RIDGE’s teen SRAE program. Twelve years ago ASF was excited to bring the TYRO program (as well as, CORE, Couples Communication and JET) to Texas and its impact on men, women, couples and teens has brought hope and transformed the lives of those who have been a part of our programs. We are TYROs to the core and hundreds of testimonials express their gratitude. Anthem Strong Families has been recognized by two Dallas mayors for their transformative work and featured in print and radio media. We are TYRO’s!
