A two-year leadership program for residents of select Houston neighborhoods, building civic skills and community projects.

The program serves four Houston neighborhoods: Denver Harbor, Magnolia Park, the greater East End, and Spring Branch.
Your neighborhood knows its own needs best. T4T is built on that truth. You will gain real tools — conflict resolution, storytelling, project management, and more — so you can turn good ideas into visible results. Past participants have launched community gardens, neighborhood murals, and economic revitalization efforts. The program also connects you to a network of leaders across your area, so the work continues long after the program ends.
LISC Houston is the Houston office of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the nation's largest community development support organization. It works with residents, nonprofits, government agencies, and private partners to build stronger, more equitable neighborhoods across Houston. LISC Houston provides loans and equity investments for affordable housing and business development, offers technical assistance and training to local nonprofits and community development corporations (CDCs), and runs programs focused on economic opportunity — including Financial Opportunity Centers that help families build income and financial stability. It also leads GO Neighborhoods, a place-based community development model active in 17 of Houston's most underserved neighborhoods, and supports residents in creating Quality of Life Agreements — five-year community-driven strategic plans.
The Resource Center maps the services, programs, and benefits across the city — and the people behind them.
