Since 1999, Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Paso (BBBSEP), the local community affiliate for the County of El Paso, Texas, has served over 15,000 at-risk, primarily minority youth through mentoring relationships. BBBSEP's All mentoring components focus on ensuring that children are emotionally and academically prepared for school. Mentors provide support in areas such as early literacy, social skills, and a positive attitude toward education, contributing to the goal of school readiness.

Boys & Girls Clubs of El Paso serve youth who reside in the lowest income areas of El Paso and are at risk for academic failure. BGCEP’s Project Learn supports and cultivates members’ academic success through five major components: 1) Homework help and tutoring, 2) High-yield learning and leisure activities, 3) Parental involvement, 4) Collaboration with schools and community organizations, and 5) Incentives.

PdN Children's Inclusive Early Learning Center (IELC) is El Paso’s only early childhood learning center designed to serve children with special needs and typical developing children in a bilingual, multi-cultural, inclusive environment.

IELC provides specialized child care and curriculum based learning in a structured inclusive classroom setting to children with and without special needs. Our program provides many opportunities for social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and language development. Peer interaction encourages the development of daily living skills. We aim to help children achieve their fullest potential. It is the goal of the IELC to serve as a support system for families of children with special needs by providing a safe and inclusive environment for their children. By making use of our services, families achieve family unity, seek employment or education, or simply get some relief from the daily demands of caring for a child with special needs.

Project Vida is deeply committed to strengthening the community through high-quality, enriching licensed child care and helping families develop strong parenting skills. The availability and quality of early care, developmental assessment, education, and school readiness for young children0-5 years is especially critical for low-income families. The program uses age-appropriate curricula that align with the State's guidelines for early childhood development and education, early childhood literacy, and school readiness. It offers a nurturing environment with low teacher-child ratios and nutritious food.

Project Vida After-school Enrichment Program serves children 6 to 18 years in four locations. In various activities where parents are always welcome to help as volunteers, especially with homework assistance, even though the parents do not feel comfortable helping their children, their presence helps the self-esteem, and the child feels secure with at least one of the parents with them. Parents are invited once a week to a Family Night, where parents and children get together with after-school specialists and have special activities, usually games together, parents and children playing, singing, and reading.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Our vision is to positively impact youth by providing opportunities and success for youth qualifying as “disconnected” within underfunded regions access to upper-level educational opportunities while maintaining the Scouting principles of the BSA mission, Scouts Oath, and Law.
