The Neighborhood House in Logan Heights became the heart of the Mexican and Mexican American community in San Diego. Begun in 1914 by a group of wealthy Victorian socially progressive women including Mary and Helen Marston as a settlement house with the explicit goal of “Americanizing” Mexican immigrants, it evolved over time to be a site of community activism and civic participation for the next generation of Mexican American youth walking through its doors. Colloquially known as La Neighbor, the Neighborhood House was the nexus of relations in Logan Heights and offered integral services like health care, food distribution, English-language classes, a community oven, citizenship classes, and enrichment activities. This new exhibition brings together the written history of the house, along with nearly twenty new oral history interviews from former Logan Heights residents and Neighborhood House participants who were impacted by its services. The Neighborhood House Association continues today commemorating its 110th anniversary as a much different organization since its founding. Examining the history of Neighborhood House through the first sixty years shows us the ways in which individuals and governments have responded to pervasive social issues like poverty and lack of access to health care and education. It also shows the ways in which community is built and the next generation is fostered, despite continued vulnerability and the challenges posed by policy and planning decisions outside of local control.

A tight-knit group of gay men reunite in Palm Springs for a weekend of rekindling friendships, drinking poolside margaritas, and the biggest highlight: recording a lip-synched music video.

"To My Girls" is a hysterical yet deeply moving play about chosen family and how we move forward as a community in times of change and uncertainty.

Celebrate Native American Month at the Barona Cultural Center & Museum. Experience the award-winning exhibit featuring the short film "Nya’waap Illyuw Uuchyuwp – Our Way of Knowing" and see "Sinyohow Haawaakm ‘Aaknach [Sin-yo-how Haa-waa-km Aak-nach]," the newest film in the Kumeyaay Philosophy Series. Join Sinyohow [Sin-yo-how] as she teaches her twin boys how to care for the creatures around them and each other. This second film in the series brings to life the traditional teachings and oral histories of the Barona people. These stories were told to teach lessons on how to live well and be good members of the community. Barona Museum has worked tirelessly over the past eight years to bring these important stories back to the Kumeyaay community and the public. Much of this knowledge had been lost due to the consequences of colonization and genocide. Visit the Barona Cultural Center & Museum to experience the Kumeyaay way of knowing. Barona Museum is open Wednesday to Friday noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Barona Cultural Center & Museum on Facebook
