A safe, welcoming
and opportunity-filled space

A safe, welcoming
and opportunity-filled space

With the expansion to the first floor of our building, we are creating the Youth Center—
a space designed by and for our youth.

A space where they can learn, express themselves, have fun, and feel part of a community that supports them and empowers them to reach their full potential.
This project was born from listening to their voices, their dreams, and their ideas. In a focus group, our youth shared how they envision this new space.

Spaces that inspire and transform

Makerspace

A place for artmaking and hands-on projects, equipped with the most up-to-date technology, including 3D printers and laser printing.

Open multipurpose space

A spacious area where they can move, play, gather, and simply be young.

Calm room

A quiet, calming space designed for when they need to rest, reflect, or enjoy a moment of peace.

Classroom / Learning room

For classes, workshops, and educational activities for both young people and adults.

Tutoring and career counseling space

A space where they can explore career paths, complete college applications, and access resources.

Family Center
on the second floor

With the expansion, the second floor will be more intentionally dedicated to the Family Center, with one room for infants and another for children.

Our team
and partners

This project is being developed in partnership with Rothschild Doyno Collaborative, with the support of Robert Tuñón and Eli Gutiérrez, who share our commitment to creating inclusive and accessible spaces.

What it takes to make it happen

To bring this dream to life, we will need 2 million dollars to cover renovation costs, ADA-compliant upgrades, furniture, and equipment.

Our goal

Your support can help us reach this goal and open the doors of the new Youth Center.

We’ve already reached 90%!
