Mentoring near

San Antonio Community Resource Directory

We believe in learning from one another and sharing our unique gifts and talents.

At Southwind Fields, we encourage each of our Locals to have a mentor.

For our City Locals, it may look like checking in once a week, grabbing a burger or a cup of coffee, touching base, and doing life together.

At our Local Hub, mentors might lead a life group, teach a class, or join us for lunch.

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is a vibrant campus ministry that establishes and advances witnessing communities of students and faculty on over 550 college campuses nation-wide. We minister to students and faculty through small group Bible studies, large gatherings on campus, leadership training, thoughtful discipleship and life-changing conferences and events.

Why the Campus?

Today’s university shapes tomorrow’s leaders. In the university, women and men are encouraged to pursue truth, often without regard for God, and to pursue personal goals, often without concern for a higher purpose.

InterVarsity longs to see education lead to a lifetime of Christian worship and service. We believe that when students and faculty are transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, their campus is transformed, and ultimately society as a whole comes to more closely reflect the priorities of the kingdom of God. That is why we invest ourselves in the lives of students and faculty, wherever they are on their spiritual journey.

A big part of the heart of TruLight127 is to support children in Kinship Homes.

For generations, extended families have played significant roles in rearing children when parents are having a difficult time. This is called Kinship Care by Child Protective Services (CPS). These are relatives and other people who the child or family have a significant relationship can often provide children with stability when they can't live with their birth parents.

Kinship caregivers are not given the same kind of support that foster families are given. They are often left struggling for resources. We want to support that family as much as we can so that the children placed there can stay in a stable family environment. We provide resources, trainings, and often license them so that they can receive the support that they need.

What Are the Benefits of Kinship Care?

  • Provides love and care in a familiar setting
  • Provides parents with a sense of hope that children will remain connected to their birth families
  • Enables children to live with people they know and trust
  • Reinforces a child's sense of cultural identity and positive self-esteem
  • Helps a child make and sustain extended family connections
  • Continues lifelong family traditions and memories
  • Supports the child in building healthy relationships within the family
  • Supports the child's need for safety and well-being;
  • Creates a sense of stability in the life of a child

Our newest program CARE connects families with a certified parent educator that provides the support they need to move from surviving to thriving. CARE is a free program that is designed to assist parents through mentoring, support and education. CARE will help provide a positive support system, will teach problem solving skills, connect you with resources and much more! We believe supporting healthy families builds a healthy community.

Family Well-Being: PAT educators believe anyone that is anyone that is important to your child is important to us. We work hard to support families and promote healthy family relationships.

Development-Centered Parenting: When parents are familiar with their child’s developmental milestones, they are more likely to have appropriate expectations in regard to their child’s behaviors, actions and reactions. PAT educators are trained experts in developmental milestones from birth to kindergarten!

Positive Parent Child Interaction: During each home visit, a parent-child activity will take place that encourages positive parent-child interaction AND facilities learning. Because a child’s brain grows the fastest the first 5 years of life, consistent and positive engagement is key!

Any family with a child of any age.

Trinity Oaks launched a special StarKids program for the sons and daughters of fallen first responders and combat veterans. Losing a parent changes a child’s life forever. When that parent falls as a hero, a first responder, or a veteran who was helping others or protecting our freedoms, the trauma is multiplied even further. 

The Trinity Oaks’ StarKids program aims to help these sons and daughters honor their families’ sacrifices with a unique outdoor experience.

StarKids focuses on children of fallen military veterans who died in combat and first responders, police officers, game wardens, disaster responders, and firefighters between the ages of 10 and 18 years.

Each child is paired with a fallen first responder’s agency or military branch member as a hunting buddy and mentor. Both become “hunter safety certified” together before the hunt. Groups of 4-6 StarKids and their buddies then participate in a unique hunt together for deer, hog, or an exotic hunt, depending on the group’s interest.

Ages: 10-18.

Children of fallen veterans, first responders, police officers, and game wardens.

Young people can build self-confidence through the development of specialized skills, and this is one of the best defenses against unhealthy peer pressure.

Through the Trinity Oaks’ H2O Outdoor Adventure program, kids are exposed to a full day of challenging tasks. As they sample unfamiliar activities such as archery, hunting, wilderness survival skills, firearms safety, and outdoor cooking, these young people will practice group participation, physical exertion, humility, and thinking on their feet — skills our next generation needs and can use daily.

As trained mentors and special guest celebrities lead them, participants will acquire new abilities in the outdoors, perhaps even without realizing that the process is occurring.
