El Paso, TX (January 22, 2026) |
As a committed community partner, Raiz continues to invest in programs that expand success, remove barriers, and create opportunities rooted in education and inclusion. Through a ten-year partnership with La Nube, Raiz reflects its broader mission to empower communities and support experiences that help families imagine what’s possible.
As presenting partner, Raiz helps make La Nube for All Third Thursdays a welcoming entry point to hands-on STEAM learning for families who need it most. Held on the third Thursday of each month, these events invite children and parents to explore interactive exhibits, participate in immersive workshops, and engage in educational activities for all ages.
In 2026, Raiz Federal Credit Union will contribute $10,000 to sustain La Nube for All Third Thursdays, reinforcing its investment in accessible, inspiring experiences that build confidence and nurture future success.
“La Nube for All Third Thursdays is about opening doors for families to learn and explore together,” said Max Villaronga, President and CEO of Raiz Federal Credit Union. “At Raiz, we believe that sparking curiosity and building skills in children can shape a brighter tomorrow. Our ongoing support ensures that every child can imagine, create, and thrive—regardless of background.”
As a founding supporter and La Nube Visionary, Raiz Federal Credit Union helped bring La Nube’s one-of-a-kind space to life. Through its sponsorship of the CODE IT installation located within the Challenge It exhibit, Raiz empowers visitors to program the colors of a giant LED cube using an interactive kiosk. This hands-on experience introduces children to coding concepts and lets them experiment with programming in new, creative ways, reinforcing Raiz’s belief in accessible, future-focused learning.
La Nube recently received the 2025 Hands On Children in Museums Award, an international honor recognizing excellence and innovation in children’s learning. This award places El Paso among leading children’s museums worldwide and highlights La Nube’s dedication to hands-on STEAM education for local youth.
Together, Raiz and La Nube are paving the way for a more inclusive El Paso, where every family can create, explore, and grow. The next La Nube for All Third Thursdays event will be held on Thursday, February 19, 2026. Families are invited to attend, discover new exhibits, and experience hands-on learning opportunities.
