Texans Together Education Fund is
Planting the Seeds of Hope for Tomorrow

Today’s Harris County isn’t the old Harris County. Our county of over 4 million people is one of the nation’s most diverse. Many of our modest and-low-income residents are not civically engaged in improving our community because they lack the experience and opportunity. 

Texans Together Education Fund facilitates the opportunity for civic engagement in underserved neighborhoods by working alongside residents to help them develop essential civic skills and build upon their own strengths to achieve the improvements their community wants and needs.

Starting in Harris County in March 2007, Texans Together Education Fund already has had many success stories:

Magnolia Park Community Garden

Creating community space and reinvigorating the neighborhood

Alief Apartments as Communities Project

Engaging apartment residents in improving their community

Young Families Project
