Join Our Mission

At this time, we do not have any open positions, but we would love for you to get involved in other meaningful ways!

Magdalena House thrives because of the dedication and passion of our community. Consider making an impact by volunteering—whether it’s mentoring, assisting with events, or supporting our families in other ways, your time and talents can make a difference.

 

Magdalena House is a neighborhood of transitional homes in San Antonio that serves mothers and their children who have fled dangerous and abusive lives by providing transformation through education, nurturing community and programming. We provide a free, safe transitional home and loving community for those affected by family violence, human trafficking, generational poverty, as well as mothers who have aged out of foster care and those facing homelessness. Families’ needs are addressed through unique programing designed to foster well-being and self-awareness. Mothers are required to attend college, high school, GED or ESOL classes.

Through education, our Enrichment programming, counseling and other-directed activities, mothers living at Magdalena House develop the social, educational, and financial skills needed to ensure the physical, economic, and spiritual well-being of themselves and their children. We have developed our five-acre property into a neighborhood of three homes and will eventually grow to seven homes, serving over 80 women and children at any one time.
