Despite being hardworkers, the community members that we serve have experienced decades of economic exclusion that limit their educational opportunities and push them into low-paying jobs. Our bilingual programs seek to remove the barriers to financial security that this population faces by increasing literacy, graduation rates, employment readiness, and offering wrap-around support for various needs. We are one of few organizations in the area to provide such a wide-array of programs and our culturally competent staff is always advocating for more resources to be alloted to these underserved communities.
