Community Love Hub at Mendez Middle School:This brand-new hub is an initiative by local community partners working with AISD to connect Dove Springs youth and families with free after school enrichment programs, arts education, sports clubs, ESL classes, community resources, and more. This hub will bring a much-needed safe learning environment, resources, and community gathering space for the Dove Springs community.
