Join SOS
Who Can Join SOS?
Students of Service (SOS) empowers the next generation of global leaders.
Our programs are designed for students who are curious, community-minded, and ready to learn through real-world experiences. Through Learn, Serve, and Explore, students build leadership skills, connect with their community, and gain confidence in their future path.
SOS programs are open to students in the San Antonio metro area in 6th–12th grade (ages 11–18). Our Serve programs are always free, and our Learn and Explore programs are free or offer financial aid and scholarships to ensure access for all.
Whether you’re a student, parent or community member, or an educator or club leader, select the option below to learn more about programs designed for you.

Want to bring SOS to your school?
Students and Educators - Did you know that you can start an SOS Club at your school and earn service hours right on campus?
For students interested in starting a club, find a teacher sponsor! Once you have a teacher willing to sponsor your SOS Club, work with your school's administration to make sure you follow your campus's club application process.
If you are a teacher interested in starting a club, you are already a step ahead! If you need help navigating your school's process, SOS is here to help out every step of the way! To get started, check out our Starter Kit.
Once you have gotten your club approval, check out our New Club Packet for resources on how to start your first meeting, potential activities for the year, and more!
For more information, contact info@sossanantonio.org. If you're ready to get your club started and have campus approval, click the button below to get your club registered!
