Our Programs

Fuerza Unida takes pride in each one of our programs that are specifically designed to enhance the Southside of San Antonio.

 

Fuerza Youth and Young Adults

Since 2000, Fuerza Unida has held a yearly Summer program for the youth (SYLP) of San Antonio. Starting in 2024, we will be expanding our youth program to be accessible year-round and to serve a broader age range.

Threads of Justice

Founded in 1990 as the foundational program of Fuerza Unida, Threads of Justice (ToJ) primarily provides jobs to displaced garment workers. Through ToJ, Fuerza Unida offers custom clothing, alterations, and off-the-rack sales of “Hecho en Mexico” items and costurera-made pieces.

the membership

The Fuerza Unida membership encompasses community-members of all ages, genders, and abilities. By becoming a member, people have broader access to what Fuerza Unida offers such as a community garden, monthly food distribution, and workshops/learning opportunities.
