OYT reaches 300 students a week!



When I moved Onsite Youth Training (OYT) to San Antonio, Texas I was hoping to find a way to reach more young people that would benefit from our services. We started out in 2014 teaching private lessons and instructing small group classes in Sacramento, California. The students were happy and we were having a positive impact on their lives. Yet I knew that we could do more, the question was how do we reach the students that would benefit from our services the most?

The answer to that question was SA Youth. They had the students and the best part was, that if we could find a way to partner with them, the classes would be free to the families. SA Youth has been in business for over 30 years helping San Antonio’s low-income children stay in school and helping young adults who have quit school gain a second chance through high-school credit recovery and workforce training. So I was determined to get my business in business with SA Youth.

Flash forward to April 11th, 2016 and I was signing a contract with SA Youth to provide 8 school sites with Hip-Hop dance classes twice a week. This now allowed us to reach over 300 students a week! The choice to move OYT to San Antonio was a great one and with the help of SA Youth we will continue to create a healthier and happier generation.
