Future of Texas Award Recipients
The Award
Future of Texas leaders are under 40 and work in food security and access to healthy and sufficient food; good jobs, living wages, and financial security; health care expansion and access; high-quality public schools and college or post-secondary education; racial, ethnic, or gender equity and inclusion; smart public investments that meet Texas’ growing needs; or voting rights and access.
We honor those who identify as a member of a marginalized and/or underrepresented community, work towards a Texas where an individual or group’s race or ethnicity no longer predicts their well-being or outcomes, and who believe in the shared Texas value of looking out for our neighbors.
The Future of Texas Award includes a $1,000 donation to a nonprofit organization of the honoree’s choosing.
Congratulations to our awardees!
Since 2014, the Future of Texas Award honors an extraordinary young leader whose work has made a significant and demonstrable impact that improves the lives of Texans. We value leaders working in a variety of settings– from the Capitol, the community, the classroom, and everywhere in between.
