Our GovernmentAmerican Leadership Forum - Houston/Gulf Coast Region
The American Leadership Forum (ALF) Houston/Gulf Coast Region runs a yearlong Fellows Program that brings together diverse Houston-area leaders. Through honest dialogue and relationship-building, Fellows grow their ability to tackle tough public issues — and join a lasting network working for good across the region.
ALF is a Houston-based nonprofit. Its core offering is a yearlong Fellows Program open to leaders across sectors — civic, business, education, nonprofit, and more. Fellows meet regularly to have deep conversations, explore where they agree and disagree, and build the skills to work together on public challenges. Over time, Fellows become part of a broad leadership network tied to community causes like civic engagement, education, community development, and conflict resolution.
If you are a leader — or know someone who is — ALF's Fellows Program is worth exploring. Reach out directly by phone or email to learn how the program works, who qualifies, and when the next cohort begins. You can also visit their office in Midtown Houston to connect in person.

ALF's work touches many corners of Houston life. If you are involved in neighborhood associations, school boards, public service, or local nonprofits, the Fellows network could open new doors. Organizations working on civic engagement, education equity, or community development may find natural partners among ALF alumni.
Strong communities need strong leaders who can work across differences. ALF believes that when people from different backgrounds build real trust, they can solve problems that no single group could tackle alone. If you want to grow as a leader and connect with others who care about Houston, this program is built for that.
