Texas Leadership
Access Network
A San Antonio-based nonprofit organization mentoring young adults (ages 18-26) for success in leadership and life.
Who We Are
Our Mission
Developing young adults to be successful through mentorship and community engagement.
TXLÁN mentors young adults between the ages of 18 and 26, offering opportunities geared towards leadership, professional, and personal development while engaging in community and civic engagement.
We bring together leaders in business, education, government, and nonprofit organizations to support our core focus of developing young adults to be successful.
TXLÁN is a nonpartisan organization open to any Texan who is seeking self-improvement through institutions of higher learning, upskilling through trade schools, internships, entrepreneurship, or serving in defense of our community, state, or nation.
“Our goal is to help young adults develop a plan after high school so they have direction and set themselves on a pathway for success. Whether it is going to college, or learning a trade, serving in the military, or starting a business, we want young Texans to have a plan.”
