SETX BEACON

Be the light. Build the change.

We bring neighbors together to learn, connect, and take part in shaping Southeast Texas.

Our Mission

SETX BEACON exists to help rebuild the sense of community that makes people feel connected, confident, and involved.

We focus on neighbors who have often been left out of civic life. Not because they don’t care, but because the systems around them can be confusing, inaccessible, or unwelcoming.

Our work is about making participation easier and more human. That might look like registering to vote, learning how local government works, showing up for a community cleanup, or just meeting new people at a social.

By working alongside local organizations and community leaders, we help bridge gaps, share resources, and build a Southeast Texas where everyone belongs.

What We Do

Community Outreach

Community is built when people feel welcome. Our outreach work creates low-pressure spaces where neighbors can connect and show up for each other.

  • Board game nights, coffee socials, and dance parties to meet neighbors and build community
  • Local events like clothing swaps and community cleanups
  • Partnering with existing organizations to work alongside them and build up our community

Civic Engagement

We help people understand how local decisions are made, and how they can take part without needing a political background.

  • Nonpartisan voter registration and helping people understand why their vote matters
  • Clear, nonpartisan election information and reminders
  • Helping neighbors navigate city and county services
  • Civic education programs on how to apply for benefits and access resources
