Thank you for making this possible. 💙

Advice: One thing I would say to an incoming high schooler is that not everything is that serious and life is worth being lived. Life is for the fun stuff so put yourself out there even if you're uncomfortable.

Amigos de Jesús is proud to award scholarships to 19 Wimberley students this year. Among the recipients are future nurses, entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers, artists, salon stylists, occupational therapists, and accountants.

These students juggle jobs, heavy academic loads, and family responsibilities — all while completing meaningful service hours in our community. This year's awards total $20,500 with each recipient receiving $1,000.

We could not be more proud of the Class of 2026. Congratulations! 🎓

*Not all recipients are pictured — May is a busy month for these students and we would not have it any other way!

What a day! Last Saturday, six of our AMP student leaders spent the day at Texas State University for Bobcat Days — and it did not disappoint.

These students were selected based on their consistent attendance, leadership, and service in AMP, and they represented Amigos beautifully.

The day included exploring majors and departments, conversations with professors and current students, a Financial Aid & Scholarship presentation, a First Generation student presentation, and a campus tour led by members of the Hispanic Business Student Association.

The highlight was a roundtable with HBSA where college students shared honest advice about how to be successful: get involved, show up consistently, say yes before you feel ready, ask for help, make mistakes, and keep your balance. Simple and real — exactly what our kids needed to hear from people just a few years ahead of them.

So proud of Lizete, Juridia, Nevaeh, Natalie, Sarah, and Alexa. This is exactly why AMP exists! 💙

The Hill Country Women's Health Collective is collecting diapers for local families. Sizes 5, 6 & 7 are in high demand and low supply at most diaper pantries.

Drop a pack at our clinic and help a baby in our community feel a little more comfortable. Every single one matters.

AMP College & Career Readiness students learned about Nidia Ponce’s journey to be becoming a licensed professional counselor and social worker. The students asked great questions. They always benefit from hearing about the career pathways of our community members!
