UCSA Programs

United Communities of San Antonio (UCSA) has built a distinguished record of service to our community through programs dealing with youth and education; inter-group relations; dialogue and concerns of the community.

It is our intent to make available a means to help the dialogue that is indispensable to the multicultural process. To reach out, understand and respect the very different cultural styles of our increasingly diverse community. Each program/workshop is tailored to meet the specific needs, goals and time frames. 

  • A.T.L.A.S. (aDVOCATES tOGETHER lEARNING AND sHARING)

    A.T.L.A.S. is a weeklong residential youth program held during the summer where a diverse group of high school students come together to learn, share and explore what each of them brings to their community while enhancing leadership and communication skills.

    A.T.L.A.S. is a very unique experience that helps participants recognize their own perceptions, biases and prejudices and demonstrates how to go beyond their misconceptions to build meaningful and lasting friendships.

    A.T.L.A.S. goes beyond teaching tolerance and lays the foundation -- beginning construction on bridges of understanding and respect by opening the lines of communication within our community.

    This year's A.T.L.A.S. camp will be held June 8-13, 2008 at Genesis Ranch located in Fischer, Texas near Canyon Lake.
