About This Cause
TLT-Tomorrows Leaders Today (TLT) was founded in 2019. Based on current data provided by zipdatamaps in March of 2023 and the free and reduced lunch program Texas data, we served 789 individuals, 455 from the lowest income areas, deemed the poorest in the DFW, Austin and Houston areas, in one of our online, in-person and/or remote programs. This results in 57.67% of our participants coming from low-income communities. TLT Online Learning Library was created to provide free and low cost online courses and has reached 104 zip codes as of March 2023, providing real-life skills, soft-skills, financial literacy, higher education and career readiness videos, presentations and surveys. In June of 2020, the TLT Leading Leaders Intern Program was established. 38 colleges/universities, and numerous high schools have allowed TLT to advertise our 18 internship positions through their career tool Handshake. This experience is earning participants real life work experience and, in many cases, educational academic course credit. Current positions include Accounting/Business Services, Cyber Security, Data Research, Development, Digital Marketing, GIS Basics, Graphic Design, Grant Writing, Human Resource, Impact Management, Instructional Design/E-Learning, Marketing, Operations: Policies & Procedures, Program Coordination, Project Management, Social- Media, Website Development, and Video Production. These are all remote positions which makes this opportunity accessible to all across Texas. We continue to add additional positions.
