Our programs are focused on helping individuals living at or below the poverty line in San Antonio, Texas, become financially self-sufficient through workforce training and career preparation. Over the past year, CAVALRY significantly expanded its workforce development initiatives, quadrupling the size of its pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs in project management. Participants begin with a structured pre-apprenticeship phase, where they receive hands-on training, mentorship, and foundational certification, followed by advancement to a paid apprenticeship with increasing responsibility and access to career pathways. Through this progression, participants earn nationally recognized credentials, including the Project Management Ready certification, with a pass rate exceeding 95%. Apprentices then engage in real-world projects that serve the community and strengthen their professional portfolios. These efforts collectively generated a documented economic impact of over $320,000 through community-based projects and volunteer-led events. CAVALRY maintains active partnerships with over 150 employer organizations across multiple sectors, providing participants with direct pathways into great-paying jobs. These employer partners play a vital role in mentoring apprentices, offering project-based learning opportunities, and hiring graduates into sustainable roles aligned with their skills and certifications. As a result, participants reduce their dependency on public assistance and gain long-term financial independence. 0 0 0 172146 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TX X Tracie Edmond 2108656429 18911 Hardy Oak Blvd San Antonio TX 78258 Tracie Edmond Executive Director 60 0 X 90000 0 0 Deliah Walker Board Chair 10 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Lessert Board Treasurer 20 0 X 0 0 0 Laurence Edmond Board Secretary 45 0 X 0 0 0 Doug Mathes Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Savalas Lofton Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Rita Philip Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Silvia Vilarreal Board Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 James Brown Baord Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Imani Stewart Board Member 10.00 0 X 0 0 0 90000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 216455 0 216455 Workforce Training Fees 611000 228834 228834 0 0 0 0 0 0 228834 42 42 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 445331 228876 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 90000 50000 40000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6741 6741 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41054 41054 0 0 2502 0 2502 0 6964 6964 0 27462 27462 0 0 0 0 0 0 3217 3217 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 602 602 0 0 Program Fees 23316 23316 0 0 Testing and Certification Fees 19531 19531 0 0 221389 172146 49243 0 50614 168604 110032 114954 110874 165568 389510 0 0 0 0 X 152518 263922 13050 125588 165568 389510 165568 389510 223942 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 2025 11100 33536 191928 445289 683878 2025 11100 33536 191928 445289 683878 683878 16 16 16 16 42 106 16 16 16 16 42 106 2041 11116 33552 191944 445331 683984 0.99985 0.99967 0.00015 0.00033 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 One board member has a family relationship with a current officer of the organization.
