The Vince Young Foundation
Every kid deserves a champion in their corner.
Founded by Texas legend Vince Young, we build safer schools, stronger teams, and real mentorship for young people in Houston and beyond.
Vince's podcast
The Stampede
Every week, Vince sits down with his old coach Mack Brown and CBS Austin's Bob Ballou to talk Texas football — the moments you remember, the stories you've never heard, and honest takes from the guys who lived it. Guests have included Matthew McConaughey.
What we do
Three initiatives, one promise: kids who are safe, seen, and led.
School Safety
Classrooms built to protect, so students can focus on learning — not looking over their shoulders.

Youth Sports
Equipment, coaching, and camps that put every kid in the game — whatever their zip code.

Mentorship & Leadership
Role models who show up — because Vince knows one mentor can change a whole life.

From Hiram Clarke to the Hall of Fame
Vince Young grew up in Houston's Hiram Clarke neighborhood, raised by his mother Felicia and his grandmother. He became a national champion at Texas and the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year — then learned, publicly and painfully, how fast it can all come apart.
The foundation exists because of both halves of that story. Kids don't just need heroes. They need people who stay.
Partners & friends of the foundation
Let's build safer futures together.
Schools, brands, and families — if you want in on the work, we want to hear from you. It starts with one message.
