NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 have partnered with Bachman Lake Together, a nonprofit organization based in the Bachman Lake neighborhood in Northwest Dallas, to support their mission to cultivate a thriving neighborhood where children and their families can succeed.<\/p>\n

Upper Elementary (3rd \u2013 6th grade) \u2013 Supports early learning gains in nearby schools with access to academic enrichment during and after school.<\/p>\n
Parent leadership & advocacy \u2013 Works with community partners to better equip parents and provide them with opportunities to become leaders in their community.<\/p>\n
Family well-being \u2013 Offers access to programs and resources with their partners to meet family needs, including mental health counseling and fresh food access.<\/p>\n
