Empower House

Meet Laura. 🌈

This Pride Month, we're honored to introduce Laura, a Clinical Social Work Intern offering affirming, identity-centered therapy rooted in culture, justice, and community.

Laura provides a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, Brown & Black women, and the Hispanic/Latinx community — culturally grounded support for navigating identity, healing, and the journey toward wholeness. And for Brown & Black women, this care is offered at no cost. 💛

Pride isn't just a month for us — it's a commitment. Everyone deserves to be seen, affirmed, and supported exactly as they are.

📍 Eligible clients must be 18+, part of (or close to) the LGBTQ+ community, and currently residing in Texas. Telehealth and in-person care available.

We need 15 new volunteers! We know you're out there. 🙌
Come to our Lockwood Park location for snacks, refreshments, and a real chance to make an impact. We'll show you where we need support and how your time creates change in our community.
This is your invitation to be part of something bigger.
👉 Comment "I'LL BE THERE" or DM us — let's build this together.

Help us get local students ready for the school year by donating to our Backpacks & Supplies Drive. Empower House is accepting donations from June 4 through July 24, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM, at 200 Donaldson Ave. Your contributions of backpacks and school supplies directly support families at our Back to School Fair. Every donation makes a difference. To learn more, visit empowerhousesa.org or call (210) 908-9772.

When was the last time you truly rested? 🌊
This June 10, we're gathering virtually for a Restorative Circle on Wellness & Burnout — because pouring from an empty cup isn't sustainable, and you don't have to figure it out alone.

For a kid in our community, one closed door can change everything. A camp they can’t afford. A tutoring session that’s just out of reach. A program that fills up before they get the chance.

At Empower House, our job is to make sure access is never the thing that holds a young person back.

In 2025, we served 308 young people through Empower Youth — and reached 426 across all our programs. We delivered 153 tutoring sessions, sent 44 kids to camp, and put $4,784 in direct aid directly toward removing the barriers standing between a young person and their potential.

Today we’re launching Access Means Everything — a campaign built on a simple belief: every kid deserves the chance to dream bigger and reach further, no matter what door is in front of them.
