📆This upcoming Saturday, there will be a volunteer workday at one of our favorite places in Alamosa…the Rio Grande Farm Park!

🪣🪴This workday event is co-hosted by La Puente’s PALS Children’s Program. We are so excited for and proud of our PALS 2.0 kids who have really showed up for their community and completed several service projects this year!

PALS 2.0 is for kids who have graduated from PALS programming.

The older bunch of kids at PALS 2.0:
💪continue to work on developing skills and building on their strengths

🚌participate in field trips to try new things, explore, and get outside their comfort zones

👨‍👦 meet regularly with PALS staff for ongoing mentorship

🥕help prepare snacks and activities for the younger PALS kids

🔆foster a sense of community and giving back!

As the PALS 2.0 kids learn how to be more active citizens and take on leadership roles in our community, we invite you to join them on work projects such as the Rio Grande Farm Park cleanup day!
