Passion for kids

Nestled away on a large lot down a dirt road along Old San Antonio Road are a series of aging buildings with a story: It’s a place where hosts of people have dedicated their professions and energy to help traumatized and emotionally healing children.

The Roy Maas Youth Alternative Center was formed in 1972, and 14 years later, in 1986, the 42-acre plot of land in Boerne was purchased which now houses the RMYAC Meadowlands Campus, which is notably separately operated from the charter school of the same name.

A quick tour of the campus shows there is an overwhelming dedication to helping these children of varying needs from newcomers and long-time employees alike.
