Welcome back to Fall Semester! We’re thrilled to introduce a new partnership between BCFES and the Honors College at UTSA: the CLIMB Above program.

This collaboration marks another step toward providing tangible opportunities and impactful experiences for youth in foster care. Together, we aim to equip youth with the tool necessary to thrive academically and personally, while empowering them to champion meaningful change.
