It was our honor to host U.S. Representative David Valadao at the AMOR Wellness Center for a discussion about education, rural broadband internet, COVID-19, and more! Attendees included Mendota City Councilmember Oscar Rosales, Mendota Police Chief Kevin Smith, Mendota Schools Superintendent Dr. Paul Lopez, and City Manager/Public Works Director Cristian Gonzalez. 

Valadao acknowledged all the issues presented during the meeting including the lack of broadband internet. City and school officials also asked Valadao to secure funding to keep school resource officers on campus, and to provide more extracurricular opportunities for youth in Mendota that will help keep them engaged and out of gang activity.  

AMOR is proud to collaborate with city and school officials to continue paving a safe path for youth of Mendota.
