Grow and Go

Serving primarily inner-city youth on the Eastside of San Antonio, the program uses sports as teaching tools to promote teamwork, responsibility, confidence, and community service.

Through structured mentorship and hands-on learning, participants grow in character and prepare to become positive leaders in their communities. The program focuses on youth ages 5 to 12, with priority given to children from the Wheatley Heights neighborhood.

The target enrollment is 20 participants to ensure meaningful engagement and quality instruction. The purpose of the program is to develop basic life skills, promote civic responsibility, and cultivate future community leaders through athletics.

Many youth in inner-city communities face challenges such as limited educational resources, exposure to violence, and economic hardship. Grow and Go provides structured support, positive role models, and skill-building opportunities that help youth succeed both on and off the field.
