Project Access

Creativity, connection, and learning came together at our community painting class at the Gateway Resource Center! 🎨✨

Adult residents joined us for an evening of art and conversation during what is normally our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)class time. In a creative twist, the instructor adapted the lesson to incorporate art vocabulary and meaningful conversation, creating a fun and engaging way for residents to build language skills while expressing themselves through painting.

A special thank you to local artist Lynn Moore for sharing her passion and inspiring our residents through creativity.

Programs like these help build confidence, connection, and community while creating opportunities for lifelong learning.

Great news for our Minnesota community 💙

We are incredibly grateful to share that Project Access received a $1,500 grant for our Neighborhood Resource Center at Elevate on Parkway, made possible through Walmart and their Burnsville store team.

We were honored to be part of the store’s reopening celebration, where a large ceremonial check was presented on stage in front of community leaders, including the mayor and Chamber of Commerce It was a meaningful moment to share the impact of our work.

This funding will support our Education and Economic Stability initiatives, expanding access and opportunity for residents.

A heartfelt thank you to Carla Evans, Store Manager of the Burnsville Walmart, for presenting the check and supporting our community.
