Blessed Sacrament Academy

The Academy has been providing education to our community since 1932.  Their current mission is to provide support to low-income families who, because of poverty and lack of options, are in special need of education and training.   Their efforts focus on three programs. 

• The Child Development Center opened in 1989 for full-time education of underprivileged children up to the age of five. 
• Second Chance High School opened in 1990 to provide an alternative high school for dropouts.  Over 700 students graduated from 1990-1998 and 75% of them earned college scholarships.
• The Parents Academy was established in 1993 to teach these skills to parents, grandparents or other custodial adults.  Funding for these programs comes from contributions from the community and some federal grants.

Child Advocates of San Antonio serves as an independent voice in the court for the abused and neglected children of Bexar County, through the use of court-appointed special advocates, for timely and permanent placement of children into safe, stable, and nurturing families.

Who Are the Children? - Child Advocates' children are abused and neglected.   They often live day-to-day with no sense of security or permanence and frequently learn not to count on anything or anyone.  Child Advocates' children are away from their homes. Although they are placed in foster care for their own safety, the trauma of being separated from their families and friends and experiencing extended temporary placements can be an abuse of a different kind.
Child Advocates' children must depend on overworked judges and caseworkers to decide their futures.  The abuse/neglect system that seeks to protect the children is crowded with such cases.  Please help Child Advocates' children so they don't get lost in the system.
