Endeavors

Endeavors is a nonprofit that connects vulnerable populations across the United States to a wide range of helpful services. Our Mission Endeavors passionately serves vulnerable people in crisis through our innovative, personalized approach. We seek to provide comprehensive, effective, and innovative services that encourage growth, allowing people to build better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. Why? Because we believe that everyone holds the capacity to grow, heal, change, succeed, and affect others positively. Our Work Our work centers around homelessness, unemployment, child abuse, disabilities, and disasters by connecting individuals and families to services like education, crisis intervention, case management, homeless prevention services, parent training, practical life skills, and vocational support, training, and employment. Our Story In 1969, several of San Antonio's inner-city churches banded together to launch "Urban Ministries," to help meet various needs within the local San Antonio community. Eventually, this program expanded in scope, reach, and geography, to become Endeavors®, a national, innovative nonprofit that serves as a model within an evolving behavioral health and social service landscape.
