WEDGEWOOD-HOUSTON RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT
Parvathi Santhosh-Kumar: Driving National Impact, Rooted in Local Community
Wedgewood-Houston continues to be home to remarkable individuals who are shaping the world while staying grounded in the spirit of our neighborhood. This month, we shine the spotlight on Parvathi Santhosh-Kumar, a dedicated community member and nationally recognized leader in youth advocacy.
Parvathi serves as the Vice President of Community Impact at America’s Promise Alliance, a national nonprofit that supports young people through times of social, political, and economic uncertainty. In her role, she helps organizations across the country navigate complex challenges and convert them into positive, youth-centered action.
“Part of what we’re trying to offer through our Alliance programming is creating opportunities where leaders can really grapple with these challenges—and turn them into action that leads to impact,” she explains.
While her work reaches across the nation, Parv is also deeply connected to the local community. She and her family can often be seen walking or biking through the neighborhood, and she’s an active volunteer in Wedgewood-Houston—frequently lending her time to local initiatives and neighborhood events.
Her ability to balance national leadership with grassroots involvement makes her a perfect example of what makes WeHo special: global vision, local heart.
