We are working toward the UNICEF designation “Child Friendly City.” This starts with meaningful youth input to determine what we can do to make El Paso a great city for them.

Our ask is that you share this QR code or link: https://tinyurl.com/hx9h37hp (Link in Bio) with your students and encourage them to use their voice. NO personal information will be collected; all responses are anonymous.

It's based on a mysterious storyteller figure from West African culture, which also was a symbol of slave resistance. The show, which was written and directed by El Paso's Anthony Michael Stokes, debuted in Chicago. The tagline for the show is: "We must love hard. We must hate less."

Tickets are $15 at the Plaza Theatre Box Office and Ticketmaster.

A heartfelt thank‑you to the Texas Bar Foundation for awarding the Philosophic Systems Institute $10,000 to support Shadows to Light, our philosophic learning space integrated into Judge Selena Solis’s INSPIRE Mental Health Treatment Court. Mental‑health treatment courts face a unique challenge: participants often need more than clinical care. They need a place to reflect, to make sense of their experiences, and to begin shifting the internal narratives that shape their choices.

Shadows to Light brings a humanities‑based, meaning‑centered approach that helps participants deepen reflection, strengthen critical thinking, and rebuild a sense of purpose and possibility. This funding directly supports that work within INSPIRE.
