Villa's Capital Campaign

Changing the Face of Villa Esperanza Services

Villa's Hope Moves Forward capital campaign was launched in 2012 to expand and modernize our campus to match the quality of services we provide.

Phase 1 created the Villa School, which welcomed students into their new classrooms in 2018. In 2025, we completed Phase 2, which included a state-of-the-art Occupational Therapy Clinic and Early Intervention Center, as well as a dedicated physical education and therapeutic space for activities like basketball, Zumba, and life skills training. Additionally, the project included three spacious new classrooms to enhance learning opportunities and a set of eight new outdoor swings.

Challenges with the Original Campus:

  • Capacity limited due to space constraints

  • Outdated therapy and recreation spaces

  • Disjointed layout of repurposed buildings

The Upcoming Final Phase

““Recently driving past Villa Esperanza I was amazed by the transformation. I couldn’t help thinking of the blue door entrance way; once a symbol of hope, taking us from hopelessness to an extraordinary adventure filled with possibilities.”

-Irene Albeck, dedicated parent and retired special education teacher

The reflections, read aloud by Villa Chief Executive Officer, Kelly White during the successful Ribbon Cutting of Villa Esperanza Services Phase 2 Capital Campaign highlighted the significant changes that have taken place and the positive impact on the community.
