Description:
SAYC's programs strive to affect change in youth in three primary ways: prevention-preventing and reducing negative and delinquent behavior; academic improvement-improving academic skills and increasing participation in out-of-the classroom learning experiences; and social development-building character, improving social skills, increasing assets, and establishing positive relationships.

Our vision: Reaching out to San Antonio's high-risk urban youth so each one who enters our doors will go forward with the tools necessary for lifelong success.
