Summer Brain Gain helps prevent youth from falling behind and losing academic skills while school is out.

Summer Brain Gain is comprised of one-week modules with fun, themed activities for elementary school, middle school and high school students that are aligned with common core anchor standards. Supported by Disney, each module takes a project-based learning approach: youth engage in a process of learning through discovery, creative expression, group work and a final project or production. As a result, kids develop higher-order thinking skills through the Summer Brain Gain modules while staying on track for the coming school year.

In addition, with support from Staples, BGCA introduced Summer Brain Gain: Read!, a literacy program that complements the larger Summer Brain Gain curriculum. To improve the reading skills of America's youth, Summer Brain Gain: Read! is a summer reading program with a new book presented each week per age group, along with supporting activities that bring the book to life.

Grades: Elementary - High school.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at Uvalde High School.

The 3H Youth Ranch uses the power of nature as a tool to build new purpose, strengthen character, and engender personal integrity in young men. The balance of wilderness experiences such as camping, coupled with classroom and vocational education, creates a positive environment for boys to grow emotionally, intellectually, and physically. The treatment program is based on the aims and ideals of Scouting. 

The atmosphere is safe, structured, and supervised by a trained team of professionals and promotes acceptance of authority, responsibility for personal actions, and skills building. Each youth has an individualized treatment plan designed to ensure success upon return to his family and community.

All boys attend school on-site provided by the University of Texas Charter School System. Upon placement, each boy is assessed and placed at his level of need. We have exceptional educators who work individually and collectively to inspire each boy to reach his full potential.

Counseling:

Each child over 5 is welcomed and encouraged to participate in receiving individual therapy by our counselor. There is a children’s counseling group that meets once a week during evening group time for children in the shelter. Parents can requests counseling for their children and the Children's Services Coordinator will make that referral.

  • Counseling is available for community members who have experienced abuse by a significant other, household member or relative.
  • Counselors are available to meet with you in a safe, undisclosed location to discuss your situation and the ways domestic violence has impacted your life.
  • You do not have to be separated from an abusive spouse/partner to receive counseling services, but please be aware and take steps to keep yourself safe.
Case Management:
When a new family enters the shelter, it can be a difficult and scary time for children of all ages. The Children’s Services Coordinator (CSC) or other children’s staff and interns will work with each family to help with the transition of living in the emergency shelter.
 
Educational Arrangements:
It has been shown that each time a student changes schools, they lose about six months academically. At Family Abuse Center, it is the CSC’s goal that all children are in a safe school within 24 business hours of their arrival at the shelter.
 
Preventative Services:
A representative from the children’s department is happy to present child abuse identification and prevention, domestic violence and children, and violence prevention information to schools, community groups or organizations.
 
Evening Activity Groups:
Evening activity groups meet every evening from 7-8pm Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
 

Children over 5 for counseling. Ages vary for other services.

Camp dBR hosts children and teens with Tourette’s syndrome to
a tuition-free (the only tuition-free TS camp in the nation) three
day camping weekend.

For most, this camp is the only time they feel free of prejudice or
embarrassment about their symptoms.

Ages: 6-18.

We can accommodate the needs of most campers, but the weekend outing has some limitations in accepting children whose needs are beyond the scope of its resources.  Campers must be able to handle daily routines such as dressing and personal hygiene.

Campers are assigned to cabins based on their age and gender.

I will be his Father, and he shall be my son. I will never take My love away from him...

1 CHRONICLES 17:13

Fathers in the Field leads boys outdoors, away from distractions, where they can relate one-to-one with a man they admire.

We reach them through single mothers, eager to give sons a father figure – a role they cannot fill alone.

Boys aged 7 to 17, who urgently need male role models.

We do require a three-year commitment (one year at a time) from participants, to provide constancy

We require that boys ‘earn’ the program’s blessings by serving others.

Above all, we strive to impart unshakable faith in a Heavenly Father who will never abandon His children.

Free of charge – we are funded by charitable sponsors and participating churches.

The Wash and Learn Initiative (WALI) is a collaboration between library systems, small business owners, and local nonprofits that brings relevant information and critical services to underserved communities through the laundromat.

WALI creates pop-up libraries in laundromats, places where families return to every week and spend on average 90 minutes waiting for their laundry. These pop-up libraries include computers, specialized software, offline servers, and access to programming on a variety of topics relevant to local needs and interests, from English language learning to tax preparation and beyond.
