We believe that all students, regardless of circumstances, should have access to the best educational opportunities available.

Toward that end, our four goal areas are:

Remove obstacles to participating in Pre-K through 12 education
Expand youth access to impactful, high quality programs outside of school
Ensure students graduate from high school future ready
Help students in post-secondary programs persist and successfully complete

We are a collective impact organization working towards success for all students from cradle to career.

Two of our current initiatives working towards our first goal are San Antonio Kids Attend to Win, which expands supports for chronically absent students across 60 campuses, the 'Rethinking Discipline' project through My Brother's Keeper San Antonio, which helps schools to build their capacity for inclusive school discipline practices, such as restorative justice.

Our work towards the second goal is driven by Excel Beyond the Bell San Antonio, a network of over 40 out-of-school-time organizations. The Diplomás Project supports our third and fourth goals, with a specific focus on Latino student success. The San Antonio Youth Commission provides an outlet for youth to share their voice in a powerful way through advocacy and community service.

Your donation through the Big Give SA will go towards all of these efforts, helping schools to support students that are often left behind. Above are several examples of how your donations will be used. Thank you for stepping up!
