The Battered Women and Children’s Shelter

Kinetic Kids has provided adapted sports and fine arts programming around San Antonio for over 24 years, yet over the past decade, they noticed that families were driving from other communities like New Braunfels and Boerne because there were no options for adapted activities in their local community. After piloting programs in New Braunfels using the same successful Kinetic Kids model popular in San Antonio, they realized that the outlying and rural communities needed their programming, too.

Funding from Impact San Antonio will greatly assist Youth Orchestras of San Antonio (YOSA) with continued program success, greater student enrollment, and expanded program offerings for young student musicians in San Antonio and Bexar County.

Located at the Sally Cheever Girl Scout Leadership Center is the Backyard, a four-acre green space with limitless potential. As a 2024 Impact San Antonio Support Grant recipient, their vision is to develop the Backyard into a multi-purpose space for use by Girl Scouts and the greater San Antonio community.

Congratulations to 2021 High Impact Grant recipient Family Violence Prevention Services (FVPS) on the recent ribbon cutting celebration marking the completion of the new storage structure on the campus of the Battered Women and Children’s Shelter.
