So many of our HYLA leaders are active in the community and dedicated to service beyond the work they do for HYLA. Two of our leaders, Joseph Holloway (HYLA Director, Chair of the HYLA Family Events Committee, and Co-Chair of HYLA Law Student Engagement Committee) and Charles Shaw (HYLA Director, Co-Chair of the HYLA Government & NonProfit Attorneys Committee, and Co-Chair of the HYLA LGBTQ+ Committee), also serve as Co-Chairs of the Houston Bar Association Habitat for Humanity Committee! HBA has come together to build 26 homes for low-income individuals seeking to create better lives and is now raising funds for the 27th and 28th homes. Please consider donating under Team HYLA as we join together to raise funds to support this worthwhile cause! https://lnkd.in/grHZPWWw
