Have you ever read to a dog? Dogs like to be read to, even if they have their eyes closed. Research studies have shown that children whose reading scores lag behind their peers suffer from a fear of reading aloud in the classroom.
This program improves children’s reading and communicating skills by employing a powerful method: reading to a dog—but not any dog. Our dogs are registered therapy animals who volunteer with their owner/handlers as a team and go to schools and libraries as reading companions for children.
When a dog is listening, a child’s dread is replaced by eager anticipation and learning occurs. The handler is a skilled facilitator, shifting performance pressure away from the child and providing support.
When children read to dogs the experience is magical—there is no other way to describe it!

Registration is now open for summer camp!
Project Transformation operates eight-week summer day camps serving children grades 1-6 in two high-need neighborhoods in San Antonio and two in the Rio Grande Valley.
The focus is on improving literacy and social-emotional development. Each day, children read one-on-one with community volunteers and participate in activity-based literacy intervention. Children also participate in daily enrichment activities including recreational play and exercise, creative arts, and interaction with our young adult interns and community volunteers, who inspire and encourage children daily to make responsible, sound decisions.
Elementary students from low-income families.

True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are, it requires us to be who we are. To believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in being a part of something and in standing alone when necessary.
Using Brené Brown's book, we will redefine what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization rife with perfectionism and pleasing. We'll also share and explore where we’re experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection hiding in ideological bunkers or fit in rather than showing up as our true selves and braving the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism.
