A Message from our Executive Director,
|
Dear Friends,
Ten years ago, Students of Service (SOS) began with a simple yet powerful mission: to inspire young leaders through service, global learning, and community engagement. Today, we celebrate a decade of impact—thousands of students empowered, countless lives touched, and a future forever changed.
This milestone is a testament to partners like you—our dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and passionate students. Your belief in our mission has turned service into action, education into opportunity, and dreams into reality. Because of you, young people are stepping up as changemakers, making a difference in San Antonio and beyond.
But this is just the beginning. The next decade holds even greater promise, and with your support, we will continue building a world where young people lead with courage, compassion, and purpose.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the next 10 years of impact!
With gratitude,
Amir Samandi
Founder & Executive Director
