When struggles at home and school begin to impact children's mental health, it's up to the grown-ups around them to find ways to take the pressure off. That's exactly what happens inside ChildFund's No Pressure Zones here in the United States: safe places inside schools where children can talk with a trusted adult, express themselves, develop coping skills and strengthen their ability to succeed both academically and socially. ➡️ https://www.childfund.org/stories/2026/inside-childfunds-no-pressure-zones-in-south-texas Our program in South Texas, powered by AmeriCorps volunteers, now reaches 1,800 kids in 19 under-resourced schools, supporting children's mental health while also helping young people build the skills and experience that prepare them for a lifetime of service and impact. But that's just the beginning. "In 10 years, I would love to see our program here in South Texas replicated in cities across the United States," says David Chayer, ChildFund's U.S. Country Director. "And with support from our funders and from our supporters, I know that we'll be able to do that.”
