We would like to extend another heartfelt thank you to our most recent Luncheon Keynote Speaker, Dr. Stephen Klineberg.

As the former, founding director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research and initiator of the Houston Area Survey, his life’s work has illuminated the importance of focusing on Houston’s youth and ensuring that our future generations have the support they need to thrive in the most diverse major city in the country. We’re honored that Dr. Klineberg shared his wisdom with us and inspired everyone in the room to continue supporting the health of children.

We were delighted to welcome the amazing Clark Scholars volunteers who spent their spring break supporting the community in Houston. Twenty-one (21) stellar engineering students from across the country visited the Houston Health Foundation to learn about our programming and gained hands on experience in our Community Family Garden. The scholars built a wonderful new herb rack and cleared garden beds for spring planting. The students also assisted the See to Succeed optical team to prepare eyeglasses to be delivered to local students.

Thank you Clark Scholars for sharing your time with us! You are an awesome group of student leaders!

this week is Children’s Book Week? Established in 1919, it’s the longest-running national literacy initiative in the United States, created to promote reading and the transformative power of children’s literature.

In recognition of this week, we’d like to reshare our gratitude to partners aramco and the Houston Library Foundation for creating the See To Succeed Reading Corner. The Initiative allows students to take home a free book after their eye exams.

Last week, three of our rockstar volunteers were honored at the Mayor’s Volunteer Awards!

We depend on our volunteers to keep our programs thriving. From doing maintenance in the community gardens to helping coordinate children to receive their vision and dental screenings, your effort does not go unnoticed.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who give their time and talent to the Houston Health Foundation, and congratulations to Leilany Garza, Jim Durham, and the JustServe Volunteer Group for your mayoral recognition!

The Houston Health Foundation was honored to be invited to talk with anchor, Sofia Ojeda, on KPRC 2 about our Brilliant Futures programming.
