Bear PAWS
Empowering Austin Middle School Students
Bear PAWS began in 2022 when members and staff at Westminster Presbyterian Church noticed Austin Middle School students loitering in the park while waiting for transportation. The leadership felt that this was a great opportunity. Enrollment and attendance have consistently increased.
Bear PAWS is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for students to engage in educational and recreational activities while waiting for transportation. We believe in the potential of every student and strive to empower them through our programs.
