Dedicated to the rebirth of our inner city
neighborhoods...
MAUC resides in a historical building
constructed in 1911. As the former home of David
Crockett Elementary School, it was vacated in
1967 and remained unoccupied and subject to
vandalism until 1975. The structure faced
demolition but the community protested that as a
“beacon of hope,” as it was called in its
heyday, they could not allow the building to
face the wrecking ball. The City then called for
bids to purchase and restore the stoic edifice
and MAUC was selected through a competitive
process to take charge in restoring the
structure. The MAUC Center was dedicated in
ceremonial fashion on October 29, 1977.
MAUC Center is currently home to many
community-based organizations including the San
Antonio AVANCE office, the City of San Antonio
Youth Opportunities West Side office and
Community Services Program West, and the San
Antonio Independent School District’s 78207
Community Youth Development Program.
