On August 8, After-School Enrichment held its annual Art 2 Uth Exhibit in Project Vida’s Community Room. With a grant from the City of El Paso Museum & Cultural Affairs Department (MCAD), 75 After-School participants continued last year’s theme of “El Paso Secret Dwellers” on the interaction of Chihuahuan Desert flora and fauna with El Paso’s urban landscape. This year’s art medium was sculpture in thematic combination with Alebrijes, mythical creatures from Mexican folklore.
Best Buy teamed up with the Eva Longoria Foundation and The Clubhouse Network to award Project Vida’s After-School program with a Best Buy Teen Tech Center for high school participants from low-income families. This award was one of only 6 Best Buy Teen Tech Centers selected nationwide in 2019.
The current After-School Enrichment location on Project Vida’s main campus is being re-imagined and re-purposed to accommodate the high tech equipment and open-space design of a Best Buy Teen Tech Center. The Center will offer a music studio, video and sound production equipment, animation and graphic design capability, 3-D printing and other technology-based tools integrating creativity, computer science, collaboration and future technology-based career options.
With support from Canutillo Independent School District and generous funding from Wells Fargo and the Moody Foundation of Galveston, TX, Project Vida Health Center opened its newest primary and behavioral health clinic in leased building space provided by Canutillo ISD.
Sincere thanks to Dr. Monica Reyes, Canutillo ISD’s Executive Director of Student Support Services, for championing the District’s backing of the co-located PVHC Canutillo Northwest Health Center at 7000 Fifth Street, previously Canutillo Elementary School. PVHC staff joined Dr. Reyes and members of Canutillo ISD’s executive staff and Board of Trustees at the grand opening ribbon-cutting on May 21.
