ABOUT US

UOI provides out-of-school time enrichment for at-risk youth and vulnerable families in apartment communities, schools, and camps in the greater Houston area.

Urban Outreach Inc. (UOI) program areas are structured to supplement and enrich traditional academics. Our enrichment activities include Sports, Literacy, STEAM and Character education and reinforce character development. We teach 9 positive character qualities each year. Our character education focuses on inspiring kindness of the heart, developing a strong and decisive mind, and encouraging hope and zeal for life.

We believe strong character leads to success in school and in life.

OUR HISTORY

Urban Outreach, Inc. (UOI) began when Houston area churches identified a need to support families and schools in the inner city of Houston. After witnessing the impact of the life-transforming ministry, UOI organized as an independent 501(c)(3) in 1996.

Urban Outreach offers 4 character-based enrichment programs: Apartment Community Program (ACP), Christian Summer Camping Program (CSCP), Soccer Camp Program (SCP), and School Character Development Program (SCDP).

Today, UOI operates out of school time programs in 24 apartment communities, touching over 5000 family members.

Urban Outreach is committed to serving the greater Houston community. As our city evolves and becomes increasingly diverse, we see new challenges emerge. In response to the constantly changing needs, we are always looking for ways to enrich and support the educational needs of our marginalized children and families.

Please join us in educating, loving, and transforming the lives of the kids who need it most.
