Who We Are

New Page 1

Our mission is to enhance the educational, social and moral development of San Antonio's youth, especially those most disadvantaged. We seek to inspire and enable them to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

The Clubs provide a safe place to grow and learn; ongoing relationships with caring, professional adults; life-enhancing programs and character development experiences; hope and opportunity.

At the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio, we utilize a professionally created youth development strategy designed to increase the developmental assets of our members and promote -

	A Sense of Belonging A setting in which young people feel accepted, comfortable and at home.
	A Sense of Usefulness An opportunity to do something of value for themselves and other people.
	A Sense of Influence A chance to be heard and play a role in decisions.
	A Sense of Competence Establish proficiency through knowledge, understanding, and acquisition of skills.

When the strategy is fully implemented, self-esteem is enhanced and an environment is created which helps girls and boys achieve their full potential.
