WE ARE The Children Deserve A Chance Foundation
We focus on ending the generational cycle of poverty through providing children the opportunity to create a future beyond their circumstances.
Our college preparatory program, The BowTie Program exists to prepare inner city students to get into and through college.
Our Future objectives include sharing our success rate of sending 100% of our seniors to college with students across the nation.
He who opens a school door, closes a prison. –Victor Hugo
The BTP, started as a class of 5 Scholars and has grown to its 40 Scholars today, and is still growing. It runs all year around, and serves as a space for tutoring, college-
prep, mentoring, and character development.
Our Pillars: Strong Mind, Competition, Resiliency, Accountability, Sacrifice, And Finishing Strong.
CDCF’s Sunrise Program, a 6:00 AM before school program, provides students the opportunity to earn the BowTie Scholar status.
As BowTie Scholars our students:

We believe that true college prep is preparing our Scholars for both the Classroom and the Board Room.
Before completing our program, Scholars step foot on over 40 college campuses. (Above) First of seven stops on the annual BowTie College Tour.
