GRADUS AT A GLANCE
The mission of Gradus is to invest in impactful non-profit organizations in the Dallas area that encourage children and their families to live lives of meaning, to empower each individual to use their God-given gifts and talents to reach their highest potential, and to pursue excellence in school, in work and in life.
PARTNERS
THE GATEHOUSE
The Gatehouse Program empowers women and children overcoming crisis to become permanently self-sustainable.
Their curriculum provides accountability and resources based on the individual’s needs and goals. While Members are enrolled at The Gatehouse, they are loved and guided through the Program by a team of experts and live on our 61-acre, privately funded and debt-free campus.
They are not a shelter or short-term solution but serve those who have the attitude and ability to work for permanent change. We fill that gap in our community between short-term services and permanent self-sustainability.
CAFE MOMENTUM
From the restaurant to case management, operations to development, the entire Café Momentum team works together to support, train and coach our interns. We surround our interns with an ecosystem of support, providing essential tools and resources, to create real change in these young lives.
​Our restaurant is equal parts dining room and classroom: While our Interns are working on providing thoughtful dishes with top-notch service, they’re also learning that they can (and will) rise to whatever level of expectation is set for them. While you’re enjoying the results of their hard work and determination, you’re also sending them a message that you believe in them. The Café Momentum experience proves that something as simple as breaking bread can change the lives of our community’s most marginalized youth.
JUBILEE PARK
The mission of Jubilee Park and Community Center is to be a catalyst for community renewal and enrichment to the Jubilee Park Neighborhood, a 62-block area in southeast Dallas. The majority of families here are working poor who are under served in terms of education and health resources.
FORERUNNER MENTORING
Forerunner believes that relationships change lives.  Forerunner Mentoring is based in Lake Highlands (Dallas), Texas and builds relationships with young men without fathers to help them fulfill their potential.  They work with the entire family through mentoring, after-school programming and a women's ministry to support the single moms.
VOICE OF HOPE
Voice of Hope Ministries exists to extend the love of Jesus Christ by nurturing and training children through Biblical teaching, Christian character models, life skills coaching and educational support.
