The Provisional Project is a collaborative effort of the Junior League of El Paso’s newest members known as the Provisional Class. Its purpose is to teach the Provisional Class leadership, planning, cooperation, and voluntarism.  The project must have a charitable purpose and may not be religious or political in nature.

ABOUT

Provisional Class of 2022-2023 is hosting “The EmpowHERment Project”, a day of wellness and respite for 40 women who reside in the YWCA El Paso del Norte Region’s Sara McKnight Transitional Living Center and the Center Against Sexual & Family Violence (CASFV) rapid rehousing initiative. 

The EmpowHERment Project will be hosted at the Texas Tech Dental Oral Health Clinic on Saturday, February 25, 2023 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Each guest will be given a wellness bag with essential items, self-care tools, and additional resources.
