Public education and positive youth development will be the hot topics as Michael Holthouse, founder of Holthouse Foundation for Kids and nonprofit Prepared 4 Life, speaks at 3 p.m. today on “Growing Up in America,” Children at Risk’s weekly radio show on 90.1 KPFT Pacifica in Houston. Holthouse will join Children at Risk’s Mandi Sheridan Kimball and guest co-host Scott Van Beck with Houston’s A+ Challenge.

Holthouse Foundation for Kids will participate as a chairman-level sponsor in the BigTent Conference in Houston Nov. 18 to 20 at the George R. Brown Convention Center. More than 3,000 community and business leaders, youth-serving professionals, educators and youth from all over the United States will gather under one “big tent” for this first-of-its kind event.

Prepared 4 Life, a nonprofit venture of Holthouse Foundation for Kids, is the newest member of the Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance, a national initiative showing how entrepreneurship education enables students to expand their vision, take hold of opportunities, develop skills and pursue their dreams.

On March 24, Michael Holthouse will be honored with the Conn Family Entrepreneurial Leadership Award by the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship at Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School.
