ACADEMIC ACHIEVERS

SA Youth operates multiple Academic Achievers program sites year-round for low-income school-aged youth during non-school hours when juvenile crime and delinquency typically peak. This service includes a safe facility, nutritional sustenance, caring adult role models, and supervised educational activities. Students can also participate in countless additional opportunities such as reading clubs, homework assistance, field trips, family engagement, and physical fitness. These positive development opportunities can boost self-confidence, foster growth, and aid in dropout prevention.  We currently serve over 1,000 children within South San Antonio ISD.
