Esperanza’s Annual Family Picnic!

August 4, 2026

We’re looking back on one of our favorite days of the summer

Each year, our picnic gives our staff, Board of Directors, and their families an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, relax, laugh, and spend time together as the Esperanza family. It’s our way of celebrating the incredible people behind our mission and recharging together before the busy months ahead.

A heartfelt thank you to our Board of Directors for helping organize such a wonderful day and for spending it alongside our team. Your leadership and support continue to strengthen Esperanza in so many ways.

To our amazing staff, thank you for being the heart of this organization. Your passion, dedication, and commitment to our students and families are what make Esperanza such a special place.

A special thank you to our President & CEO, Zulayka Ruiz-Barral, whose vision, leadership, and unwavering belief in our mission continue to guide us toward an even brighter future.

We’re also grateful to our Summer of Hope students, who helped make the day possible while celebrating the conclusion of their summer workforce experience. Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and the energy you brought throughout the program. We can’t wait to see where your journeys take you next!

Here’s to creating memories, building lasting friendships, and continuing to move Esperanza’s mission forward, together. Together, we translate to HOPE.
