Empower San Antonio's Future Leaders with AMPED: Donate, Connect, and Make an Impact

AMPED Inc. is a San Antonio-based non-profit, dedicated to empowering underserved girls in grades 3-12 through academic excellence, mentorship, and community engagement.

Academic Excellence

Each program consists of its own theme and activities, so your child has something new to anticipate with in each program

Mentorship

Mentors at AMPED uplift the girls. We're not just about academics; we're about dreams, growth, and building lasting connections. Let's make a difference together!

Parent Action in Education

Our programs are curated for girls in grades 3-12. Every lesson offers the appropriate level of engagement for your little ones.

Grow their creative confidence

Each creative activity prompt is an opportunity for your child to embrace a new challenge. Through hands-on learning, your child is more likely to remain engaged and to build upon their creative problem-solving skills.

Activities you can work on together

Parent volunteers attend meetings and participate in events. As educators, we found that there is no connection between what our black and brown girls are learning and earning. Our successful experience with diverse learners sets us apart.
