Project QUEST is proud to be a partner in the City of San Antonio - Municipal Government Ready to Work initiative. We know that behind each participant is a family, neighborhood and community we impact. Workforce development is social,

economic and women empowerment!

On the first day of April, Project QUEST was excited to join other regional partners and the City of San Antonio as we got ready to implement the one of kind SA: Ready to Work job training program. Thanks to the overwhelming support of San Antonio voters, a significant investment will be made over several years to give thousands of individuals education and training leading to in-demand, high wage jobs.

Project QUEST was excited to host a staff and Board of Directors mixer prior to our 2nd quarter Board meeting. We welcomed three new Board members and reviewed our highlights and accomplishments half way through our year.

As a participant centered non-profit; our staff play a pivotal role in every aspect of our program and delivery of service. At our recent meeting, we celebrated Erika's 10 Year Anniversary. Key to our culture is our long term staff who have been with us through our growth. The future of QUEST also looks bright as is evident with our 1 year anniversary staff: Covell and Laura.

Every day, we stand with all members of our community and take pride in our work to advocate for economic equity.

QUEST is showing appreciation for all nurses. Thank you for working so hard to keep everyone safe.

Project QUEST recently launched a new initiative called the Alumni. Continued. Education. (ACE) Series! In our continued effort to serve our QUESTers, the ACE Series will be a collection of sessions specifically for our Alumni continuing the commitment Project QUEST made to them when they first started on their education journey with us. Thank you to the Alumni who came to our first ACE Series and thank you to Justin Lindstrom for teaching the first class! It’s been great to reconnect with our Alumni! 

Congratulations to all our Graduates! After a nearly 2 year pause, QUEST celebrated our VIP Recognition Ceremony and everyone was excited to enjoy a grand show from Lanier High School’s Mariachi Orgullo de San Antonio. Thank you Dr. Stella Lovato, Vice President for College Services San Antonio College along with Sister Pearl Ceasar, Superior General Congregation of Divine Providence for sharing your inspiring messages with us.

healthcare, information technology and trades

These sessions provide information on what career paths are possible through our program, and enable attendees to get real-time answers to their real-life questions.
