To that end, TEJAS established a strategic partnership with fellow Houston-based non-profit organization, Community Voices for Public Education, in hopes of engaging with Houston Independent School District leadership, educators, parents, and of course, students to expand environmental education within HISDS curriculum, 79623 RESEARCH COLLABORATION - TEJAS TEXAS AM - TEJAS and AM University collaborated to co-coordinate and plan new projects for the year. The outcome of the meetings resulted in the draft proposal of a new 5-year health study for Houstons East End neighborhoods, including communities such as Manchester - a neighborhood directly adjacent to a Valero refinery they were designated a cancer cluster - an area with abnormally high rates of cancer in residents. A draft proposal was created for a one-year project that would help launch the 5 year health study. 79623 INTERNSHIPS YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TEJAS also worked to establish experiential learning opportunities learning by doing related to our mission. The first was a partnership between TEJAS and the Student Conservation Association, where students participated in a Summer internship where they learned to kayak in Houstons Bayou, with the intent of collecting plastic trash in the waterway. This resulted in the collection of over 1500 pounds of plastic trash. The second was our Ethical Plastics Production Media Internship, where students engaged with residents to identify and collect stories related to EJ. They then worked with TEJAS staff and volunteers to create media presentations, both in video and photographic. Through this experience, youth strengthened their skills using multimedia equipment. 79623 318493 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 4 0 true 4 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false false true false true true true true true true false false TX X GLORIA ESPINOZA 8327049632 9 CLIFTON HOUSTON TX 77011 X MARTINA CARTWRIGHT PRESIDENT 005.00 005.00 X 0 0 0 KRISHNAVENI GUNDU SECRETARY/TREASURER 005.00 005.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT BULLARD BOARD MEMBER 005.00 005.00 X 0 0 0 JUAN PARRAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 040.00 040.00 X 0 0 0 ANA PARRAS ADMINISTRATOR 040.00 040.00 X 0 0 0 NALLELI HIDALGO YOUTH ORGANIZER 040.00 040.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 913852 913852 245 914097 0 0 0 0 96000 96000 0 187200 139200 48000 0 0 26233 13017 13216 0 0 10400 10400 0 0 0 0 28708 14354 14354 0 0 46415 23207 23208 17549 7549 10000 0 30545 15273 15272 0 0 10698 5349 5349 0 COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE 1395 1395 COMPENSATION - NON EMPLOYEES 100544 100544 BANK CHARGES 10 10 0 555697 318493 237204 0 1927861 2296798 159458 159619 449397 87894 372201 361503 206570 206570 2666090 3024490 0 0 X 2666090 3024490 2666090 3024490 2666090 3024490 358400 X false false true false false X 729769 1087354 1326398 635477 913852 4692850 729769 1087354 1326398 635477 913852 4692850 4692850 1045 540 686 705 245 3221 0 1045 540 686 705 245 3221 0 0 730814 1087894 1327084 636182 914097 4696071 0.99930 0.99760 0.00070 0.00240 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 417225 55722 361503 21872 21872 10300 10300 361503 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests EAST WEST WEALTH MANAGEMENT PARTNERS - CETERA INVESTMENT SERVICES 206570 206570 Federal income taxes Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Program Service Expenses 79,623, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 0 TEJAS ANNUAL PROGRAMMING FENCELINE HOLIDAY 2023-24, AND THE ANNUAL TOXIC TOUR In addition to blstering unique Environmental Education opportunities, TEJAS is also committed to annual programming related to our mission. These include 1. Fenceline Holiday, a program where parents and children come together in Manchester, a community negatively impacted by its proximity to a petrochemical refinery. The event is held in honor of 4 year old Cierra Rose, who died of leukemia - a tragedy that highlights the fact that children who live within 2 miles of the Houston Ship Channel are 56 more likely to get leukemia than others. The Annual Toxic Tour is an opportunity for leaders, decision makers and experts to tour some of the most negatively impacted communities and hear from directly impacted residents.
