And through Our Community, Our Kids, we’re pioneering Community-Based Care in seven counties of the Texas foster care system. Our vision is for families to thrive and children to experience safety, hope and love. Whether your passion is advocacy or providing support to children and families, check out our job offerings at hiremeach.org. We offer competitive benefits and a warm-hearted culture that is rooted in our values of childhood, families, effective services, stewardship, spirituality, advocacy, and learning. At ACH, we depend on every staff member to lead the way and deliver results that often exceed the expectations of our agency, our clients, and our community.

Program Snapshot: In 2023, our Pat O’Neal Youth Emergency Shelter served 178 youth. It is the only shelter in Tarrant County providing 24-hour supervised emergency care for youth ages 10 to 17. The average daily cost per child to keep them safe is about $325.50. Thanks to our supporters, we’re able to keep children and youth out of harm’s way and offer them a place of refuge. Want to help?

𝕍𝕠𝕝𝕦𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕟𝕖𝕖𝕕𝕖𝕕! Paint Rock ISD administers our charter school that our youth from the Robert and Jane Ferguson Residential Treatment Center, our Secure Assessment Facility, and even some kids from our Wedgwood campus attend. These youth are required to have “surrogate parents” to advocate for them as it relates to education. Per child, it’s a commitment of about 1-2 hours per year, and can be done remotely if you don’t live in the Fort Worth area. Contact Deanna.Burt@PaintRockISD.net for more information.

Oftentimes, the youth we serve do not get the chance to experience a “real” prom, as they are in alternative schooling systems. This year was the first year the children from three of our programs came together to have a prom of their own - -- disco style! 🪩 There was everything a prom should have: food, desserts, dresses, suits, a king and queen, music, and, of course, dancing! 🕺 And while we can’t show faces, we assure you there were big smiles all around! “This will give them something to remember,” says Marcy Collins, the academic coordinator for our Wedgwood Residential Program. “For some, this will be their only prom, so it was important that this year set the precedent.” Thank you, Paint Rock ISD, for helping organize and make this come together. #prom #disco #highschool

We receive a ton of questions about people interested in adopting – and we don’t blame them! There is a lot to understand and know before adopting a child, and we are here to help you navigate that journey. Here are some common questions we get about adoption, as well as the answers that pertain to our organization. Questions? Just ask us! #adoption #adoptionquestions
