Ransomed Life is one of the only organizations in San Antonio that offers to mentor this specific demographic.

Since the trauma has been in relationships, Ransomed Life believes that healing will also come through relationships. That is why we offer both group and one-on-one mentoring.

We have group activities that bring a holistic approach to encompass spiritual, mental, behavioral, and physical care while having fun. In addition, each girl is paired with a trauma-trained mentor to walk alongside them through life. The mentor helps them set goals and reinforces the work happening with the counselors.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at Somerset Junior High School.

The Positively Influencing Everyone (PIE) Club focuses on character education in a school setting. Volunteer leaders meet with a small group of students who have been selected by their teachers as influencers among their peers. Through brief lessons, discussion and video clips, the group explores positive character traits such as self-respect and respect for others, doing the right thing, being an upstander, honesty, gratefulness and more. P.I.E. Club members then have the opportunity to live out what they've learned through school and community service projects.

This is a Youth Program.
