Neighborhood Adventures
Partners for Wichita offers opportunities for groups to experience a neighborhood known for its challenges and cultural interests, to
see and hear neighbors in their unique environment, and to grow in awareness, appreciation, respect, and concern for the diverse
people and places of our community. For a half day, groups visit shops, schools, and service agencies, churches, restaurants, and
homes in the El Pueblo, Midtown, and Planeview areas of Wichita, with preparation and debriefing.
