At Magdalena House, we offer more than just jobs. We offer meaningful careers that transform lives.

Join a team of compassionate, mission-driven professionals dedicated to supporting women and children who have fled dangerous and abusive situations. Whether you're working directly with families or supporting our programs behind the scenes, every role plays a vital part in helping residents heal, grow, and thrive.

Magdalena House is a unique neighborhood of transitional homes in San Antonio, serving mothers and their children who have experienced family violence, human trafficking, generational poverty, homelessness, or who have aged out of foster care. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where families can rebuild their lives through education, counseling, and community support. Mothers are required to pursue education, whether that’s college, high school, GED, or ESOL, while participating in enrichment programs that foster personal growth and long-term stability.

Our five-acre campus currently includes three homes, with plans to expand to seven, allowing us to serve over 80 women and children at a time. As we grow, so do our opportunities for passionate individuals to make a lasting impact.

If you're looking for a purpose-driven career where your work truly matters, we invite you to be part of our mission.
