ACTN History
Antioch Community Transformation Network (ACTN) was established by
Antioch Missionary Baptist Church as a 501(c)(3) non-profit community
development corporation in April, 2000. ACTN's purpose is to address the
economic, social and recreational needs of San Antonio's east side
residents, the majority of whom are low income minorities. ACTN is
undertaking a $7 million capital campaign to construct a
state-of-the-art multi-purpose Family Life Education and Community
Center Campus.
Agency Goals
ACTN manages numerous programs and projects which serve as catalysts for
positive change among individuals and the larger community. Phase I of
the Family Life Center Campus, a 22,645 square foot sports complex and
community center, will be completed in April 2005. Other existing
services include the Rites of Passage Youth Mentoring Program, Spring
Break youth activities, after school and summer youth activities, adult
literacy, financial literacy, individual and family counseling and
parenting support. ACTN’s future plans include job training, computer
literacy, elderly support, English as a second language, GED classes and
residential development. The services are consistent with the following
agency goals:
2. To offer positive alternatives for neighborhood youth.
3. To reduce isolation and enhance the individual dignity and independence of east side senior citizens.
4. To promote economic development on the east side that will result in jobs, housing and private
investment.
5. To provide positive social activities for individuals and families.
