We need your help to grow the support and awareness throughout our community and your own! It isn't just about incarcerated women...that is the END result. What you don't see, what you don't hear is what we work with everyday. These women were little girls, they were victims. They were the children that society forgot. The little girls left behind. The girls who no one protected. The stories are the same. The abuse started at 2, 3, maybe 4 years old. It continued. No came, no one stopped it. There was no one to help, to step in and save them. This is why we do what we do. This is what the WIN Program is about. It is about Women In Newness; it is about Second Chances. It is about stepping in. WIN is about stopping the cycle. These girls were at one time victims. They were abused. No one came to say your safe. No one came to say you are protected. No one came to say there is hope, to say there is help. They have children. We can break the cycle. WE CAN HELP... But it is going to take all of us. Please help us! This is why we fight! For them, for their children. To stop the cycle, to say there is hope...to say there is help, to say there is life after abuse. For them, for their children. This is why WIN was founded. I believe in Women. I believe in our future...in their future. I believe in their children. Please stand with WIN please stand with Elite Counseling INC. Please stand with our Participant's and their children! Please join our FIGHT. Together WE CAN do this!!!! If you believe in this, share our page, share our cause! We need your support!

The Little Swans Ballet program has been created to share the joys of ballet with those who might not otherwise be able to receive an education in the performing arts. The program allows young children to express themselves through dance and further extend their knowledge of the arts through fun and community. Young girls will participate in enjoyable and educational activities in a two week period. Games and activities will be held to educate participants about the basics of ballet and famous ballet performances, and also, serve as a form socialization between participants to develop long lasting memories. An hour and 45 minute informative and enjoyable ballet class will be given to teach basic ballet steps and allow Ms. Bueche and other instructors to instruct an adapted routine from a famous ballet. At the end of each day, the participants will have a time of “free dance” to express themselves in whatever way they please. The goal of “free dance” is to emphasize the importance of how dancing should be fun and come from inner expression. On the final day of the program, the taught adaptation of a famous ballet will be performed for the parents and guardians of the participants to display what the young girls have learned. In this program is designed to teach young girls maybe not to dance with all their heart and soul, but to live for whatever they love to do in life. Whether it is academics, music, sports, etc., the mission of the Little Swans Ballet Program is to teach participants to give every bit of themselves towards the thing they love to do.

Our goal is to grow and sustain a viable informational network for all dance in San Antonio, providing artistic, educational and cultural opportunities to people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities.
