Bright By Text is one of our newest resources supported through our ROAR initiative to help build individual and community resilience in Robeson County. This is a nationwide text message with important information to help support caregivers and families with young children.
Bright by Text is for anyone who cares for and loves a child, prenatally through age 8: parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, babysitters, aunties, uncles, neighbors, friends, teachers, and more.
We send free text messages with easy, practical tips and activities right to your cell phone. Our content comes from trusted partners like PBS and Sesame Street. Messages are targeted to your child’s age and include information on development, language and early literacy, health and safety, behavioral tips, and more. Additionally, ROAR partners are able to send community specific information about local resources and free events that support our families in Robeson County.
You can sign up by texting the word Roar to the number 274448 on your cell phone or click this web enrollment form – Bright By Text
We only ask for your child’s birth date and zip code. That way, you’ll get messages timed to their exact age and information about local events and resources. We will never share your info! Bright by Text is completely free, but message and data rates may apply.

This resource tool was compiled in 2021 and updated in 2023 with input from community stakeholders. It accompanies the Robeson County Community Prevention Action Plan ( https://bit.ly/CPAP-tri-county). All programs and organizations are listed in the table under the Protective Factor(s) that they support; therefore, some programs/organizations are listed in multiple sections on the full compilation.
