This winter the Discovery Green Conservancy, in partnership with KPRC, is shining a light on unsung heroes in our community and the tradition of neighbor helping neighbor in Houston. Houstonians nominated individuals who contribute to life in our community, but don’t receive the recognition they deserve. 

A committee composed of respected community leaders reviewed and selected five nominees to have their stories told in the park, on the Discovery Green website and shared through social channels. We're proud to announce that one of the five is Colleen Russo!

Colleen Russo or “Coach” as she is known by those she works with, is the co-founder of The HUB Houston, a non-residential educational organization started in 2015 that offers high school and post-graduate programs specifically designed to serve neurodiverse teenagers and young adults. Driven to increase awareness and acceptance of the neuro diverse population at every societal level, Russo is deeply involved in the Houston community from the workplace to broader social activities.
