Boysville offers graduating seniors the opportunity to further develop their adult skills while nurturing career and educational goals. 

Each year, over 600 youth in Bexar County will age out of the foster care system without a support system to help them transition into adulthood. This age group is at-risk for homelessness, drug abuse, and incarceration. Our Supervised Independent Living Program is one of only eight programs in Texas to support young adults as they attend college or vocational school, work in the community, or enlist in the military.

Boysville’s Supervised Independent Living Program follows high school graduates as they progress from living at Boysville or in foster care to living independently by providing emotional and financial support as needed. Young adults attending college or vocational school are eligible for scholarships offered through the Boysville Foundation to help offset additional expenses. Some of the services included are book assistance, housing, college living allowances, food allowance, and case management and therapeutic programs. 

A young adult must be working at least 80 hours a month, attending high school or taking 6 hours of college courses, or be involved in a volunteer/job skills program.

The application process:

  • Young adults must complete the SIL application and obtain a referral from their DFPS caseworker.
  • Once the referral and application are completed, they get sent to the state office for approval.
  • Young adults will be interviewed and tour of the program.
  • If accepted, the young adult must accept placement within 72 hours.

For more information, contact Stephanie Williams at 210-566-3209 or via email Stephanie Williams.

No cost once admitted to program and receive scholarship for school/living expenses.

Stephanie can be contacted from 9:00 am- 5:00 pm Monday through Friday for additional information.

FACT is once again partnering with the Secular Student Alliance to sponsor one $1,000 Student Activist Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in college in the state of Texas. Candidates will be evaluated on how they personify secular values, how they put those values into action as activists, and their goals for creating a more secular and humanistic future.

If you would like to donate to help FACT support a Texas secular student, click the “Donate” button at the bottom of the page and select the SSA Scholarship option. For more information on the scholarship.

What does FACT do?

We hold formal meetings on the third Saturday of most months. Those meetings often include nationally-known speakers on a wide range of secular topics. There is also a monthly Discussion Brunch on last Saturday of the month, and several luncheon meetings throughout the month. Our members have been involved in such community projects as building handicapped access ramps at private homes and volunteering at the San Antonio Food Bank. For more than 20 years FACT hosted a weekly program on Public Access TV. We occasionally hold family-friendly pot-lucks and we celebrate the Winter Solstice annually.
