An unidentified woman wearing a leopard print/flower blouse poses for the camera inside El Centro del Pueblo. She holds a cup and program in her right hand. The program is possibly a list of artists whose work appears hanging along the walls behind her. El Centro del Pueblo was established in 1974 as a non-profit community-based service agency. It serves at-risk youth, gang-involved youth, and court-referred offenders and their families. The agency also provides youth counseling, behavior change outreach, child abuse and neglect intervention, family preservation, job training, emergency services, alcoholism prevention and AIDS prevention. The project involved adapting a run-down office building for use as a 10,000-square-foot youth recreation center. Total construction cost was $1.22 million dollars, and the architects were Ena Dubnoff from ONE Company Architecture, and the Fernando Vazquez Studio. Photograph dated October 4, 1997.
