Expanding opportunity for young people in Harris County.
Free Youth Programs
Youth programs aren’t just a benefit for kids—they’re a critical investment in families and communities. Research shows that consistent participation in high-quality youth programming improves school attendance, boosts academic achievement, and enhances long-term economic outcomes. These programs also provide safe, structured environments for children during working hours, reducing childcare costs and giving parents the peace of mind they need to support their families.es.

STEAM Programming
We operate hands-on, experiential learning programs in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). Through partnerships with community centers, we help students explore robotics, coding, 3D printing, drone technology, and more—all at no cost to families. Our programs are designed to spark curiosity, build future-ready skills, and create pathways to careers in high-demand fields.

Free Summer Day Camps
Every summer, we offer a free, five-day-a-week day camp for children ages 5–11 at three community centers across Harris County. These full-day programs provide working families with a safe, engaging space for their children from morning through afternoon. Campers enjoy a range of activities—from outdoor recreation and art to STEM challenges and field trips—while forming friendships and developing social-emotional skills in a supportive environment.

Emerging Leaders Lab
We provide internship and job shadowing opportunities for high school students who would not have the opportunity to open these doors on their own. Your support helps us sustain and grow these vital programs. With your help, we can provide more kids with the opportunities they deserve—at no cost to their families. Together, we’re building a brighter future for Harris County youth.
