Westside Community Center
To further realize its vision to provide world-class educational, economic and cultural opportunities to underserved communities in San Antonio’s urban core, UTSA established the Westside Community Center in September 2019.
Since it’s opening, the WCC has made great strides in fostering meaningful relationships with residents and business owners in its San Antonio neighborhood in an effort to spark educational excellence, economic opportunity and vital research partnerships in the community.
The WCC serves as a home base for a wide variety of UTSA community outreach efforts, including:
- Community-based research
- Community events and exhibits
- Small group meetings
- Focus groups/feedback sessions
- Trainings and workshops
UTSA SBDC COVID Business Recovery Accelerator
In partnership with the UTSA Westside Community Center, the UTSA Small Business Development Center will help provide broadband Internet to those businesses with limited connectivity. Our mission is to help small business owners find relief and recover during these difficult times.
