TREC Community Investors

Our 2025 TREC Dallas Guns project team met with students at the Dallas ISD Paul L. Dunbar Learning Center on Friday to talk about their forthcoming STEAM lab!

The project, a renovation of an existing lab space, is the first of two Dallas Catalyst Project: Mill City collaborations our Young Guns are taking on with the school.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the STEAM lab is tentatively being planned for August.

Last week, members of the ALC Class of 2026 held a volunteer event at the Braswell Child Development Center in Mill City, handing out popsicles to children and candles to teachers and administrators.

The center offers educational programs for infants, toddlers, and students of all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

ALC class members are partnering with Braswell on their community investment project benefiting Dallas Catalyst Project: Mill City. More details coming soon.

Our 2025 TREC Dallas Young Guns team is making waves with their community investment project to reimagine this space with a new workbench area, media entertainment wall, electronic capabilities, hallway art, and acoustic ceiling tiles.

The project received a $52,000 TREC Community Investors grant stemming from last year’s Young Guns Casino Night, as well as $30,000 from the nonprofit Tackle Tomorrow Foundation Tomorrow and the global IT solutions provider Veritis Group Inc.

The team is planning a volunteer event in mid May and a midsummer ribbon-cutting ceremony. Registration information coming soon.

The new STEAM lab is the first of two Young Guns projects within the elementary school, with the latter a renovation to its playground area that will begin later this year. Both projects are being completed as part of Dallas Catalyst Project: Mill City.
