LEAD Filipino Texas

LEAD Filipino Texas is a community-centered nonprofit organization based in San Antonio dedicated to strengthening Filipino/a/x civic participation, leadership, and representation in Texas. As one of the fastest-growing Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) populations in the state—with over 210,000 Filipinos calling Texas home—our community’s presence is strong, yet our voices remain underrepresented in public leadership and policy spaces. Through local organizing, cultural celebration, and civic engagement, LEAD Filipino Texas empowers Filipino Americans to lead boldly and live fully. Rooted in the broader mission of LEAD Filipino, our Texas chapter builds systems and programs that connect culture, knowledge, and power. We work alongside community members to create civic pipelines, deepen political understanding, and foster economic and social opportunities for Filipina/x/o Texans to thrive.
