My Connect Community

Job Creation - Live and Work in the Gulfton/Sharpstown area. In 2020, Connect launched a program mobilizing the talents of local seamstresses and tailors to make masks to sell to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Allowing Gulfton area residents to earn extra income while helping protect all of Houston. Connect now runs a 9-month training program for industrial sewing with ESL, digital literacy, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. In addition, Connect has HTX Sewn Goods, which is a white-label production arm of Connect, providing prototyping and labor for designers/inventors seeking to have their products fabricated in Houston.

Communities of Care - Through grants, we make efforts to transform the environments where people live, learn, work, play, and pray, bringing a population health approach to support community resilience, mental health, and well-being with a focus on children and youth of color and their families.

Community Health & Well-being: We serve our neighborhood by bringing together the residents, local leaders, and vital components necessary for a holistic, healthy community that includes health, after-school, and recreation program services.

Affordable Housing - We strive to create affordable housing within the Gulton/Sharpstown neighborhood so families can remain in the area and new families can migrate to the area.
