🌎 WE NEED YOUR HELP, EL PASO! 🌎 Hello, everyone! We are Melody Dominguez and Saul Nuñez, Student Leadership Instructors with the El Paso Youth Environmental Ambassadors (EPYEA) through Reconnecting with the Disconnected. Over the past eight weeks, we have been learning what it truly means to be leaders—not by talking about leadership, but by putting it into action. Our capstone project is to organize and lead a community cleanup and environmental education event completely on our own. Now, we're asking our community to join us. 📅 Community Cleanup & Educational Booth 🗓 Saturday, July 25, 2026 🕢 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM 📍 Playa Lateral Canal adjacent to Capistrano Park This event is about so much more than picking up trash. Together, we'll be: 🌱 Cleaning and beautifying our community 💧 Teaching residents about stormwater pollution and protecting our waterways 🤝 Building partnerships between youth, businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders ❤️ Inspiring others to become lifelong environmental stewards 💚 WE ARE ALSO SEEKING SPONSORS! Can your business help by donating any of the following? ✅ Bottled water ✅ Fruit or healthy snacks ✅ Breakfast items ✅ Contractor trash bags ✅ Work gloves ✅ Trash grabbers ✅ Safety glasses ✅ Sunscreen ✅ Hand sanitizer ✅ First aid supplies ✅ Ice and coolers ✅ Cleanup tools Every donation—large or small—helps us create a safer, more successful event for our volunteers and community. Our goal is to show that when young people are trusted with responsibility, supported by caring adults, and allowed to lead, they can make a real difference. If you'd like to volunteer, sponsor the event, donate supplies, or become a community partner, please get in touch with us! 📞 915-275-9916 📧 reckersoutreach@gmail.com Together, let's leave our community better than we found it and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.
