Workshop Houston’s mission is to provide youth with creative, technical and educational resources. Our vision is to lay the groundwork for a just society by creating a community that provides youth with support, expanded opportunities and alternative definitions of success. Workshop Houston has five shops that provide resources and support for young people: the Third Ward Bike Shop (do-it-yourself bike repair), the Chopper Shop (welding and metal fabrication), the Beat Shop (hip-hop music production), the Style Shop (fashion design) and the Scholar Shop (tutoring and academic enrichment).

The Tipping Point is Houston’s first and only sneaker lifestyle store located in Downtown on the ground floor of the Historic Humble Building. We curate an eclectic collection of sneakers, books, art, apparel, music, and accessories that are a reflection of the Tipping Point lifestyle. Our ongoing mission is to expose new innovative products and ideas that reflect our beliefs to our hand picked audience. We also seek to educate our guest on the history of our products.

Workshop Houston offers summer programs for students entering 6th through 8th grades. All programs are completely free. Programs are at Workshop Houston: 3615 Sauer St (between Holman and Alabama).

Party of the year!

Over spring break we went to Enchanted Rock State Park for two nights of camping. We left Tuesday morning and stopped in San Antonio for lunch and a quick tour of the Alamo on the way.  We hiked two miles to our primitive campsite carrying all of our gear with us.  Wednesday, we hiked up the rock, and we went through the cave on the backside. Upon returning to our campsite we all played in the creek, had dinner, and then went on a star-gazing walk.  Thursday,  we headed back to Houston, with stops at  San Marcos for a quick swim in the river, and in Lockhart for some barbecue. All in all, the weather was fantastic, and we had a great trip.

Hey everyone!!! We have recently added a secton to Scholar Shop that displays some of our staff’s favorite reading selections.  We love to read here at Workshop Houston and we want our students to love to read,too. With books like The Autobiography of Malcolm X , Lord of the Flies , and Harry Potter , you will definitely find something that interest you. Books are also available for check out when available.
