Search Institute

Houston, Harris County, Texas

Texas Association of Partners in Education (TAPE) believes that it takes the whole village to raise our children. In support of this belief, TAPE has embraced the initiative started by the Search Institute called Healthy Community * Healthy Youth. Instead of focusing only on reducing risks and intervening in problems, this initiative is rallying to rebuild the foundation of development that all young people need – a foundation that has crumbled for far too many young people in our society. In 2001, TAPE initiated the Houston Healthy Communities Healthy Youth Initiative. The Houston HCHY initiative started as a series of meetings with youth focused organizations to determine the willing participants in the effort to rally young people. As a result of these and many more meetings to come, the group hosted several significant events and workshops. To find out the newest HHCHY programming effort, click here.
