Join our 2018 Summer School program!
We are recruiting energetic volunteers to help us maintain a fun and welcoming environment for our 4 week summer program. Our participants will consist middle and high-school aged English Language Learners that have recently arrived in the U.S. Our educational focus will connect to soft and academic subjects such as math, team-building, introductions to high-school expectations, and science. Most, if not all, of our topics will be addressed through project based learning. Join us for fun field trips weekly to various places around King County, that enriches the curricula.
While our curricula will maintain a daily refresher activity on core subjects such as math and vocab, we will primarily work on learning and analysis strategies. We will continually address building blocks that will help our participants feel more confident and prepared for the upcoming school year.
Come assist our youth in learning more as they progress through the subjects related to this years theme, thinking about global and local issues. We will reflect on, discuss, and participate in activities that help our participants think critically and reflectively about global and local issues. We will also take time to look into examples that already show the impact that global and local actions have on their environment.
Our program is located at Kent-Meridian High School and will run from July 29th to August 22nd Monday through Thursday.

Mission Statement
Communities of Rooted Brilliance (CRB) partners with newcomer communities and helps them thrive through educational opportunities and social support services, while also honoring their traditional customs..
Description
We began in 2009, then known as the Coalition for Refugees from Burma. Our work at that time centered around helping refugees from Burma survive the trauma of resettlement from a jungle war zone or detention camp to an extremely dissimilar urban culture.
Over time, we found that our work was deeply needed within many newcomer communities, so our mission adapted and we changed our name to Communities of Rooted Brilliance to better reflect our partnerships.
CRB helps newcomer communities heal, grow, and thrive through our early learning, youth engagement, and family support programs. Our work is centered around three foundational concepts.
- The families we serve are partners in our work, and we continually seek out their knowledge and wisdom on the services we offer.
- Our programs are always education-based because we believe that education is the way to a healthier and happier future.
- We honor and recognize that dedicated leadership exists within each community, and we partner with these leaders to serve their communities in culturally responsive ways.
Since 2009, we have proudly partnered with about 500 South King County residents annually. Today, we continue to provide programming to engage the whole family, from pre-kindergarten to adulthood.
