Work Together to Make an Impact
Each year, the Leadership Houston class project is an opportunity to address a need in the community, and to rally a diverse group to make an impact. Recent class projects include The Leading Leopard Market, Class XLI transformed Yolanda Black Navarro Middle School’s on-campus market to provide its students, their families, and the community with a dignified shopping experience. Harmony in Houston, a vibrant, diverse, culturally rich city and Leadership Houston’s Class XL believes every neighborhood, park, area, and street should reflect that. HOUnited tells the diverse and unique stories of Houstonians, how they got here, and what makes Houston home. See list of previous class projects.
