VOGEL ALCOVE

Vogel’s mission is to help young children and their families prevent and overcome the traumatic effects of homelessness and poverty. It is our vision that every child in our community has a home, a self-sufficient family, and a strong foundation for success in school and in life. Our programming is culturally competent, holistic, and centered on the entire family. Using a two-generation approach, we provide developmental support for children while helping parents build and maintain a stable home environment. Vogel fulfills this mission through early childhood education, health and mental health services, and comprehensive family support programs offered across three sites in the Dallas, Texas area.
