Youth Service America: 9/11 Day of Service Grant
Educational Books & Peer-to-peer Tutoring
On 9/11/25, over 100 youth (ages 5-25) of The Isabel Amaya Foundation held a day of Growing Together in Awareness of Our Differences for a Common Unity via a cross-cultural study group through educational books and peer-to-peer tutoring for their holistic development. Keeping in mind the targeted population of local students and newly arrived immigrants and refugees in San Antonio, Texas to learn about one another and foster community. This was possible through the Youth Service America 9/11 Day of Service Grant!
Thank You Cards For 9/11 Veterans and Victims
The youth paid tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11 including their families, and those who rose in service of response by writing thank you cards and creating unique art pieces that pay respect and remembrance to first responders. Thank you cards were submitted to a local Veterans Association center.
