OUR IMPACT
ACADEMIC
ACHIEVERS
Quality out-of-school (OST) time programs like Academic Achievers reduce the number of school-aged children who become involved with negative behaviors after school, engaging them in continued learning activities in a safe and familiar environment.
SA Youth is proud to have spent over a decade serving students in grades K-8 in South San Antonio ISD.
Please see below for an important update regarding 2025-2026 Academic Achievers programming.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope this message finds you and your family well. We are writing to inform you that SA Youth’s Academic Achievers program will not be returning for the 2025–2026 school year.
While we are saddened by this unexpected shift, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, your children and South San Antonio ISD for allowing us to be part of your educational journey. It has been our honor to serve your families, and we are proud of the growth, learning, and lasting connections we have made.
Although this chapter is closing, SA Youth remains deeply committed to our mission and our community. We will continue exploring opportunities to serve students and families and invite you to follow us on social media or visit our website to be kept informed of all the wonderful things happening at SA Youth.
