The One In Five - Foundation For Kids, currently operating under the umbrella of our previously registered name, The Uvalde Foundation For Kids, is a nationally registered, 501c(3) non-profit charity organization. Originally founded in response to the Robb Elementary School shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas in May 2022, the foundation, under a dedicated team of additional national leaders, a new name & renewed vision, works 24 hours per day/365 days per week to end school violence nationwide & advocate for the future's our nation's students deserve...."
------------------------------------------------------
Over two years following the Uvalde tragedy & with a renewed nationwide vision, extending beyond Uvalde - The One In Five - Foundation For Kids now continues our dedication to changing the cultural trajectory of violence impacting our nation's students & school communities...

From our national bullying prevention program & 24 hour school crisis response outreaches; to our advocacy on behalf of students, families & school communities nationwide to end violence among our school communities - The One In Five Foundation For Kids asserts that it is only when our nation begins to systematically, politically and on a grassroots level, reverse the "Culture Of Violence;" infiltrating our schools & the future's of our students; that we will begin to reverse the tragic trajectory & impact of violence. This requires viewing & addressing school violence in ALL its manifestations - From school shootings, to bullying, to mental health, to peer conflict programming & caring for those dedicated teachers & administrators who despite the stresses and dangers they themselves now face in the classroom, remain dedicated to the system. 

The Foundation asserts that we cannot as a society underestimate any longer this particular, 'Pandemic,' taking the future's & lives of far too many of our sons and daughters since Columbine High School In 1999. However, the view of "violence," & change needs to be viewed through a different lens & from a different perspective.
--------------------------------------------------------
In part, The Foundation is accomplishing this mission, by aggressively and thoroughly coordinating efforts, when able, with school communities, partner organizations, students, mental health professionals, law enforcement & students themselves; in areas such as bullying prevention, nonviolent communication workshops, volunteer school community citizen patrols, mental health care seminars, performing arts outreaches, safety training workshops; among other programming.
