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:
1. To remove educational barriers for residents of San Antonio's
East Side.
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.
