Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio

Moving, learning, and making new friends!

Last week, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio welcomed San Antonio FC for an exciting soccer clinic that brought together Club members and youth from across the San Antonio community!

From learning new drills and developing soccer skills to making new friends and having fun, the clinic was a great reminder of the importance of staying active, trying new things, and finding ways to move our bodies. ⚽️

A huge thank you to San Antonio FC for investing in our youth and creating opportunities for kids to learn, play, and grow together!

💚 Community, kindness, and a whole lot of impact!

This past Friday, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio had the pleasure of welcoming the amazing teams from Dollar Tree and the Kindness Crew to our Clubs for Hispanic Heritage Month!

We loved getting to meet the team, share more about our mission and the impact we’re making for San Antonio’s youth — and then see that mission come to life through their incredible generosity.

Together, Dollar Tree volunteers created more than 340 mental health kits for our Club members, providing meaningful tools and resources to support their mental well-being. These kits actively help support one of our key programs, Resiliency Restored, an early-intervention mental health program that provides skill-building opportunities, crisis response & resolution, group and/or individual counseling, and family-support services to combat the mental crises youth commonly face.

We are so grateful for partners who show up, roll up their sleeves, and invest in the well-being of our kids. Thank you, Dollar Tree and Kindness Crew, for helping us show our Club members that their mental health matters, their well-being matters, and they matter.

Thanks to the generosity of Harvey E. Najim, Valero, The Malú and Carlos Alvarez Family, H-E-B and a wave of benevolent donors and community partners, we're able to announce:

Mays Clubhouse — fully open, no change to services
In-school programming through SAISD — continuing without interruption

Eastside Clubhouse — staying open, reversing an earlier planned pause

"Our community showed up for the kids of San Antonio, and because of that, we get to keep showing up for them too," said CEO Debbie Powell. "Mays Clubhouse, our schools, and now Eastside — our doors are staying open."

Eastside's next chapter looks different, on purpose. We're launching a Community Voice Council — bringing together nonprofits, political leaders, and our own club kids and families — to help shape Eastside's relaunch around what this community actually needs.

"We are committed to building Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio stronger and better — not just for today, but for the next 87 years," Powell said.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
This is what community looks like.
