 Successful Kids
Our youth are the pride of the West Side. When we invest in them we ensure a bright future for our entire community. MC-SA is proud of the work being done by all of our partners to create successful kids.
Community-based organizations, agencies and school personnel regularly convene for the purpose of establishing the Children are Healthy and Prepared to Succeed in School (CHAPSS) initiative. One key strategy implements early reading interventions for children 3 to 5 years of age. Another seeks to improve the quality of informal chilldcare services. A third strategy seeks to align families and schools through the Family and Schools Together (FAST) program.
The Community Partnership for Protecting Children (CPPC) approaches child abuse and neglect prevention by focusing on the child and involving the surrounding community in protecting and helping the child. The partnership is housed at The Neighborhood Place-Edgewood, a one-stop center where families obtain social services or work with community-based organizations.
The City of San Antonio’s Department of Community Initiatives works to improve the effectiveness of services provided to West Side residents. Services range from asset protection activities to senior services.
