Music
Musicians and singers from both CUB members and our partner churches bring contemporary Christian music on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings. If you have been blessed with a gift to sing or play an instrument, consider offering it back to God through us.
Food
Churches and community groups purchase, prepare, and serve a nutritious meal three days a week. Smaller groups and individuals partner with them to help serve these meals after evening service.
Hospitality
Our Hospitality Ministry consists of many “helping” positions in which members from our partner churches and the homeless community can serve.
Peacemakers
Ushers help to guide attendees through our church services and into our feeding/clothing ministries after dinner. They assist the staff by providing information about our program and oversight for the facilities, parking, and peaceful evening operations.
Greeters
Greeters help to minister the love of God by welcoming attendees at the front door, offering them water to hydrate, and directing them to the bag checking area and sanctuary. Many days, the smile or word of kindness given by our Greeters may be the first act of love they’ve seen.
Clothes
After a balanced meal, individuals can receive a change of clothes, hygiene products, or special items we may have in stock (like blankets, hats, and gloves in winter months). This ministry depends on community donations year-round to operate.
Education
Developing and providing Christ-centered education is one of our current goals. If you are interested in helping with Christian education, contact us.

Communities In Schools of San Antonio partners with companies across San Antonio to offer the Inspire U program.
This program connects 10-20 corporate mentors with high school students, providing them workplace exposure while developing skills that prepare them for a future career. Businesses are matched with a local high school where students visit their workplace monthly during their four-year high school journey.
Program Overview:
There are 8 sessions each year in which students travel once a month as a group to the partnering business during lunchtime. Our CIS-SA Site Coordinator will guide each 1.5-hour session with activities that include a lunch/social etiquette piece, planning for post-graduation, as well as time to develop the mentor and mentee relationship. Mentors serve as the positive role models our students need to help them plan their futures, showing them the value of an education. In a recent survey, our mentors reported they found it easy to engage with our students, they felt more motivated and productive at work as well as had a better understanding of the education system and the obstacles that affect at-risk youth.
Corporate partners typically cover a minimal investment to fund bus transportation and lunch for students. Due to the structure of the program, companies are asked to commit to support a class through their four years of high school.
We are grateful to the San Antonio Area Foundation and Bexar County for their additional support of this program.

One of the ways that we can help meet the need of the San Antonio community is by partnering with civic-minded businesses and corporations. In 2011, SAYL started our Corporate Reading Buddy Program in which employers allow their employees to volunteer one hour a week at an elementary school near the office. Through this partnership, SAYL is able to provide Reading Buddies at harder to reach elementary schools, thus helping to ensure that every 2nd-grade student in San Antonio who needs a Reading Buddy is matched with one!
Why partner with SAYL:
• Provides corporate volunteers the opportunity to engage in a one-on-one tutoring program
• Reading Buddies are required to give just one hour per week during the school day for the school year
• Multiple school locations to choose from – currently we serve over 65 schools in 5 school districts
• Make a difference in a child’s life!
What SAYL provides:
• In-office training
• Management of the reading curriculum and all Reading Buddy sites
• All books and materials
• Pre- and post-assessments for program students
• Monthly site visits to maintain program quality
• Sharing of data that shows your time and commitment yield success!
