Behind every program, event, and initiative is a commitment to serving our community.
Mrs. Mattie Mason, Founder and Executive Director of the Teenage Incentive Program, recently joined community leaders to discuss one of Houstonβs most pressing public health challenges: infant mortality and the importance of strengthening support for mothers, babies, and families.
At TIP, we believe that lasting change begins with education, collaboration, mentorship, and advocacy. Every meeting and partnership is another step toward building healthier families and stronger communities.
Thank you to everyone working together to make a positive impact across Houston. Together, we can continue creating opportunities, empowering youth, and supporting families for generations to come.
