Why we exist
To guide low-income youth in Corpus Christi, Texas toward pathways of success. Our development programs embrace the dignity of the person through focusing on academics, character development, sports, individual attention, and parental engagement. West Side Helping Hand is an Educational and Recreational Youth Center that serves PreK3 through 12th grade students who are from low income families in the West Side of Corpus Christi. The Center provides academic enhancement, character formation, career opportunities, extra-curricular activities, and organized sports.
West Side Helping Hand’s future will continue to advance new ideas and services that profoundly improve life for the youth on the West Side of Corpus Christi.
We envision a community where at-risk children are hopeful and excited about their futures, and confident and capable of realizing their full potential in school and later in life. They build healthy and respectful interpersonal relationships with family and friends.
As West Side Helping Hand continues to grow as a service to Corpus Christi’s youth and families, the Benefactors, Board of Directors and staff believe the time is right to develop and share a forward-looking vision with the community at large. WSHH’s vision is rooted in practical, real-life wants and needs. It reflects high ideal of love and hope – the hope for a highly desirable future for our youth that will bring out the best in themselves, their families and our community.
Your support keeps the doors open, the homework tables full, and the playground busy.
