EmpowerPix is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that equips underserved students with confidence, creativity, and future-ready skills through transformative senior portraits and AI literacy, arts-based wellness and mentorship programs.
We start by honoring graduation with the GOAL program, providing transformative senior portraits that celebrate each student’s achievement and potential. From there, students can explore self-expression and emotional resilience through Creative Lens, our arts-based wellness workshop using photography and AI imagery. AI Pathways builds on that foundation, helping students harness AI for problem-solving, life planning, and informed decision-making. Finally, EmpowerCircle offers a peer-based community for ongoing support, mentorship, and collaboration. Together, these programs ensure students are not only celebrated today but also prepared for tomorrow.

The Gift of a Lifetime (GOAL) program provides free, professional senior portraits to high school and college graduates from underserved communities. Our goal is to make senior portraits accessible for students who may not have the financial resources to commemorate this milestone.
We partner with social media and community leads, counselors and local school districts, including Plano, Richardson, Garland, and Grand Prairie ISDs, to offer professional portraits to students experiencing significant life or financial challenges. This program is designed to provide a source of encouragement and confidence, capturing resilience during challenging times. If you are a school administrator, counselor or teacher, please feel free to contact us to request your school to be added to this program.
Launching in 2026, AI Pathways welcomes GOAL recipients and graduating seniors from underserved communities to explore the power of AI for celebrating their achievements, mapping their future, and building skills for what’s next
