About Beyond Careers

Helping Houston’s under-served citizens stay on a productive path

Beyond Careers gives Houston’s economically disadvantaged citizens the educational opportunities they need to get ahead.  We provide financial literacy, tax preparation, career/entrepreneur, and other related training workshops to help our clients who want to be self-sufficient and/or self-employed.   We also fulfill a critical need in the community: escalating drop-out rates which leaves many young people without the education and skills needed to fill service jobs in the health, professional, and other high-tech fields.

Our program to include low-to-moderate income (LMI) families.   This includes youth, seniors, and offenders.  Vital among this target group are people with disabilities.   Our innovative training workshops address the obstacles of the extremely high rate of unemployment and underemployment of persons with disabilities.   These training workshops help with the economic development of our community.

We are pleased to have the support of U.S. Congressman Al Green, State Senator Rodney Ellis, State Representative Alma A. Allen, and State Representative Jessica Farrar. 

Beyond Careers is a community-based, 501(c) (3), non-profit organization founded on July 7, 2003.  Federal and state tax-exempt certifications were awarded on July 9, 2004.
