Volunteer Mixer & Photo Show

DOS MUNDOS PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT Join us for a volunteer mixer and showcase featuring the photography of youth enrolled in Latinitas. Throughout the summer, Latinitas hosted a series of digital photography workshops where girls learned photography techniques to tell a story through images. The series culminated in a 24 hour photography documentary where over 100 photographers from the El Paso and Juarez region shot pictures capturing borderlife through the camera lens. The exhibit will be displayed at El Paso City Hall throughout October.

GET INVOLVED Come meet & mingle with current volunteers, new members and talented girls in our program. If you haven't been able to make it to one of our information sessions, this is the perfect time to come find out what the excitement is all about. Light appetizers and refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to the public. At the event, we will collect donations of school supplies for low-income girls in our after-school programs. For more information about volunteering, email volunteer@latinitasmagazine.org
