Growing Up in America is a production of Children at Risk: The Voice of Texas’ Children, a non-profit organization dedicated to research, public policy, law and collaborative action on behalf of Texas’ Youth. Every week we aim to fill these same 60 minutes with lively discussion on the children of Texas with experts on the quality of life for our children.
