In the heart of Bexar County, Texas, Phenomenon210 stands tall as a champion of marginalized youth. This compassionate non-profit, fueled by a holistic approach, empowers students to excel beyond academic confines. Their vision extends far beyond textbooks, encompassing the full spectrum of well-being – emotional, mental, and physical.
Phenomenon210 understands the unique challenges faced by students from diverse backgrounds. They stand against historical barriers that have excluded individuals due to factors like culture, ethnicity, or economic status. Their unwavering commitment is to level the playing field, ensuring equal access to educational and career opportunities for all.
Their dedication to compassion shines brightly through their partnership with CompassionateUSA. This powerful collaboration birthed the Native American Identity Empowerment Movement (NAIEM) at St. Mary’s University. NAIEM empowers students to become advocates for missing and murdered indigenous women. By utilizing the CompassionateUSA curriculum, students are equipped with the necessary skills to enact positive change with compassion at its core.
Rich Dancer, representing Phenomenon210, eloquently expresses their deep connection to compassion: “To whom much is given, much is required.” Their partnership with CompassionateUSA feels like a natural extension of their core values, values instilled in them from a young age. This shared vision of building a more compassionate world is what unites Phenomenon210 and CompassionateUSA.
Through collaborative efforts, they cultivate fertile ground for youth to not only flourish but to become agents of positive change within their own communities.
