Texas Rural Leadership Program

TRLP began in 1990 with the vision of a rural minister, Bob Greene, to develop a leadership training program especially suited to the needs of rural and underserved communities. Now an outreach of the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service, TRLP has trained over 800 rural Texans in the principles of asset-based community development. In 2017, St. Philip’s hosted and facilitated its first TRLP class. Class projects include the Crossroads Hometown Festival, which is now a non-profit organization planning for 2021, and the Community Resource Center of Robertson County, which is funded by a grant from the Episcopal Health Foundation.
