CLUES is quickly running out of space to offer our critical services! To address the growing need for programs and services, we are planning a building expansion adjacent to our current offices in St. Paul.
The new expansion will include:
- An Educational Enrichment Academy
- A Teen Tech Center and new technology facilities for children, adults, and elders
- A new Career and Skill Training Center with multi-purpose, flexible classroom and workshop space for up to 150 people
- A new home for CLUES’ Latino elders (a population projected to grow over 700% by 2025)
- A Center for Cultural Creativity and Artistic Development
- A teaching kitchen to provide education around healthy eating and food-related careers
- Small spaces for micro-business venture programs
The expansion will benefit the growing Latino community by providing increased and enhanced services—such as education, employment and workforce development—in a central and accessible location.
BWBR Architects, who is designing a building, will include architectural details and flourishes inspired by Latino arts, culture and traditional gathering spaces.
Our plan is to begin construction in early 2018, but we need your help!
We still need to raise about $1 million of our $5 million philanthropic goal. If you’re interested in donating to our capital campaign, please contact Enrique Olivarez, Vice President of Development, at 651-379-4244. Or click below to make a donation now!
