Poverty is a relentless, systemic, and generational crisis.
Mission Possible Austin: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty One Life at a Time
Up to 46% of children who live in serious poverty will remain impoverished well into adulthood. Most East Austin homes – up to 86% – are classified as low- to moderate-income.
Children here face massive hurdles in accessing education. Teens face negative influences in all areas of their lives. Families struggle to afford basic food and necessities.

We alone can’t fix society’s systemic problems that encourage poverty to thrive.
We can, however, enrich the lives of individual children and families throughout Austin’s most under-resourced communities. Mission Possible strives to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty one life at a time.
We enrich the lives of children, teens, and Austin’s most vulnerable people with Christ-centered relationships and resources.
Change Lives, Impact Communities, Transform Generations.
Why do we get out of bed every morning?
To speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. To defend the rights of the poor and needy [Proverbs 31:8-9]
For nearly 30 years, Mission Possible has served East Austin communities as a non-profit ministry.

Mission Possible Child & Teen Programs in East Austin
Kids need routine, structure, and guidance. Sadly, children from East Austin’s most under-resourced communities don’t have access to adequate education and after-school programs. This has dire consequences on entire communities.
Mission Possible fills the gap.
Our individualized children and teen programs support learning while providing a safe space for kids to be kids:
Big Fish Club for elementary school children // Tutoring in low-income apartment communities // Restoration Art Center for hands-on activities // Camp Nikos for outdoor camping // FUZE youth program and Camp retreats for discipleship and leadership development.
