Will you join us?

From the first day we opened our apartment to the children of immigrants, we intended to grow Presencia into a community that was neighborhood-led, radically inclusive, and sustained through generations. For sixteen years, we have been gathering the team, shaping the programs, and nurturing the lives that would make that vision a reality.
We have taken big steps toward each of our original goals over the years. We invited Wanda, who started with us as a second grader and is now 25, to join our staff full-time. We introduced social-emotional curriculum for every age group. We met an occupational therapist who committed to working onsite with our neuro-divergent students. We clearly stated our commitment to welcome and affirm students with diverse sexualities and genders. We trained our staff to accommodate students with developmental differences.


In this delicate and uncertain time for immigrants, our hope is to stay present and extend loving care with your help.

Everything is in place, we have planted seeds that are now bearing wonderful fruit, and we hope you see how you fit in this beautiful community called Presencia, and that it brings you joy.

Thank you for sharing your resources and gifts!
