Empower House

Transforming Communities through Women and Girls. Our programs reach over 3,500 women, girls and families each year.

Empower House SA (formerly The Martinez Street Women’s Center) is in its 22nd year serving San Antonio’s East, West, and South community. Our Community Health Promotora Program strengthens families by increasing access to preventative health services, facilitating referrals to basic needs resources and enhancing the knowledge and awareness of health issues in our community. Through our Girl Zone Program (after school sessions and Summer Camp) we enhance academic potential, nurture high self-esteem, and support the healthy development of girls age 11-18. We provide critical services, including a FREE Breast Cancer Clinic and FREE after school and summer camp for low-income families in San Antonio’s East and South East community.

Access to accurate, culturally grounded health education is essential at every stage of life.
Together, we empower.

Santa was in the house at the Empower House Resource Fair! Solomon the Chicken stopped by for a visit, but let's be real, his owner is the real star. She recently graduated as a pharmacy technician thanks to her hard work and our Empower Connects program. Check out our website for free classes and resources, available to county residents, and as always, women-centered!

Our Empower Parents program supported 238 community members through 1,526 classes and seminars this year.

That’s hundreds of opportunities for parents and caregivers to learn, connect, and feel supported as they care for their families. This impact is possible because our community believes in investing in families.

Thank you for being part of this work.
Together, we empower.
