SAY Sí

Founded in 1994, SAY Sí in San Antonio, Texas, is a non-profit organization committed to a mission to ignite the creative power of young people to be forces of positive change. We value artists, empower marginalized communities* and advance culture. We accomplish that mission through tuition-free arts programs that provide young people with equitable access to opportunities to develop their worldview and creative potential, empowering them to live rich, full lives and develop critical learning and life skills. Growing from an enrollment of 12 in 1994 to over 200 today, in addition to 3000 students in external community services, SAY Sí is nationally recognized as a model institution for youth arts. In 2021, with the backing of a strong donor base and a strategic financial plan, SAY Sí moved into a newly purchased building located in San Antonio’s historic westside (El Mero Hueso) in order to grow enrollment and program offerings while located in the community it predominantly serves.
