Magnolia Park Through the Eyes of a Teen

Houston HOPE would like to thank Matt Adams of CathARTx and the Houston Center for Photography for collaborating to provide youth in Magnolia's Teen Voice (M.T.V.) with a 6 week intro course in digital photography.

Thanks to Matt and HCP's generous time and effort, the youth in M.T.V. not only learned to view the world around them in a different perspective, but they received an opportunity to portray to others what life is like as a young person in Magnolia.

           

In Matt's words, “I like to show people things they think they already know — but in a way they haven't seen it before. By providing a unique visual interpretation to someone, they have the opportunity of experiencing a familiar sight as if for the first time."

The kids will have a chance to sell their art, if they desire, and it will be displayed on the Houston Center for Photography website this summer.

Hits & Kicks For Kids:

Houston HOPE Provides Youth with Astros & Dynamos Tickets

 

Thanks to the Houston Astros and Dynamos Charities, Houston HOPE is able to provide hundreds of free tickets to youth and their families who live in the seven Houston HOPE neighborhoods. This special and rewarding experience allows people who otherwise would not be able to attend a Major League Baseball or Soccer game an opportunity to cheer for their home team.

The kids are able to experience the excitement of the loud beating drums, the constant cheering of fans and the falling of streamers and confetti. The children who live in these communities have few opportunities to explore activities outside of their neighborhoods, so they are always excited to attend these games.
