Happy Employee Appreciation Week to our fabulous Academic Achievers team! This team handles all aspects of afterschool programming in collaboration with South San Antonio ISD, making sure students have a safe, nurturing, and enriching space to go after the school day ends. They are an integral part of SA Youth and help us continue to serve the community during out-of-school time hours, the same way our programming began in 1984! #SAYouth #EmployeeAppreciationWeek #AcademicAchievers #SuccessBeyondCircumstance
