CAVALRY

Our small-but-mighty organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded by Dr. Tracie Edmond and based in San Antonio, Texas. CAVALRY's passion for empowering next-generation workforce talent is based on its industry-leading pre-/apprenticeship model that allows enrollees to obtain #ProjectManagement credentials (e.g. CAPM, PMP, PMR, etc.), grow individually through an in-house personal and professional development certification program (i.e. cavDEV Learning), and utilize all of the above by serving community groups via hands-on philanthropic initiatives such as CAVALRY's annual 'Amazing Race for HOPE' and 'Project 911' events. We would be honored to collaborate with anyone whose heart is for those needing helping hands — if you would like to discuss partnership/sponsorship opportunities, get in touch with Dr. James Agtuca (jagtuca@cavalry-united.org), director of outreach. CAVALRY observes an open-enrollment, rolling-admissions type of setup; thus, reach out anytime to join as a student.

'Project 911' collectively refers to a series of September events CAVALRY hosts annually in an effort to in-/directly serve San Antonio's first responders, military members & veterans, as well as their families and loved ones. For our inaugural year, grant funds from Youth Service America (YSA) | AmeriCorps are being apportioned towards 3 non-profit friends: Women Veterans of San Antonio, Reel Warriors Foundation, and United Way of San Antonio & Bexar County.

Our 'Holidays Around the World' event is CAVALRY's annual Q4 celebration that unites people from all walks of life and benefits those seeking basic life essentials/necessities, particularly when winter temperatures begin hitting South Texas. Participants visit numerous activity stations around the venue — each themed as a different country — creating charity bags/kits, playing holiday games, sampling cultural foods, and winning gift cards & prizes throughout.
