What do EDGE Nights look like at San Antonio? / ¿Qué aspecto tiene EDGE en San Antonio?
Our EDGE middle school program involves a variety of elements designed to help teens build relationships with other teens and leaders, grow socially and most importantly mature in their faith. EDGE Nights are run in a large group format, but we also utilize small group discussions in order to give the teens the opportunity to share and develop faith-based relationships. Also incorporated into our nights are plenty of opportunities for fun! We start the night with an icebreaker game or activity. Additionally, we utilize skits and multimedia presentations as often as possible to support our teaching.

Las noches de EDGE se llevan a cabo en un formato de grupo grande, pero también utilizamos discusiones en grupos pequeños para dar a los adolescentes la oportunidad de compartir y desarrollar relaciones basadas en la fe. ¡También incorporadas en nuestras noches hay muchas oportunidades para divertirse! Luego, comenzamos la noche con un juego o actividad de rompehielos. Además, utilizamos sketches y presentaciones de multimedia tan frecuentemente para apoyar nuestra enseñanza.
Who leads EDGE? / ¿Quién lidera a EDGE?
The EDGE Core Team is made up of youth ministry staff and both adult and teen volunteers, all of whom have had the required background check and safe environment training mandated by the Archdiocese. Our teen leaders are older teens who serve our ministry by participating in the planning, preparation, and implementation of the EDGE events. They are a key component to this program as the younger teens are drawn to their example of faith and see them as mentors.
El Equipo Central de EDGE está formado por personal del ministerio juvenil y voluntarios adultos y adolescentes, todos los cuales han recibido la verificación de antecedentes requerida y la certificación ambiental segura ordenada por la Arquidiócesis. Nuestros líderes adolescentes son adolescentes mayores que sirven a nuestro ministerio al participar en la planificación, preparación e implementación de los eventos de EDGE. Son un componente clave de este programa ya que los jóvenes se sienten atraídos por su ejemplo de fe y los ven como mentores.

Esperanza International seeks to cultivate global citizenship through service experiences in working towards a better world.

Together, we offer service-learning immersion trips where volunteers help build homes in communities across Tijuana and have the opportunity to authentically engage in the unique border culture of Tijuana, Mexico, through the eyes of its own residents.
Vision:
Our vision is that every individual who participates in our program will be transformed into a person of love, compassion and respect for all other peoples and cultures, and will intentionally act upon that transformation. We envision a world in which communities across borders work in solidarity toward a common dream of sustainable, dignified housing for all people.
