Bridging cultural gaps in our community is the work of Montgomery County United Way’s Hispanic Outreach Program. Since 2004, MCUW has adapted to serve all Montgomery County citizens including the growing Hispanic community. Hispanic Outreach strives to be a catalyst for greater opportunity, community involvement and cultural community awareness among all residents of Montgomery County. See the Montgomery County Demographics. The Conroe Historias Project It is unusual and exciting when history can come to life for young people through interaction with those who have lived it. The Conroe Historias Project has connected ten high school Hispanic women from Montgomery County with ten members of the Pan American Round Table of Conroe. The program began in September of 2009 and ended in the February of 2011 when the young women, after extensive interviews and discussions with the Round Table ladies, have written and published their biographies for this inspiring book, thanks to a grant from the Montgomery County Community Foundation. Read The Conroe Historias Project book. For more information regarding MCUW’s Hispanic Outreach Program, contact Vicky Shelledy at 936-760-4179, ext. 265 or email: vicky@mcuw.org |
