Mission Statement
The Mission of the Si Se Puede Learning Center Program is to offer youths, teens, and families the opportunities to empower themselves to learn, achieve, and grow. It is the commitment of the program to provide quality services that emphasize education , leadership, and life skill throughout every Cesar Chavez Foundation affordable housing community.
Description
Two main programs of the Si Se Puede! Learning Center, are the After-School and Summer Program, which offer a continued educational experience for youth and teens, beyond the classroom. Both programs support academic achievement by focusing on homework assistance, literacy, math and technology. For our math and literacy curriculum we use KidsLit and KidsMathmodules. While using KidsLit and KidsMath, the Si Se Puede Learning Center is able to make learning fun and still increase mathematical and literacy skills, for each student.
While helping to increase these two specific areas, in a child, we are hoping to impact a child's success later in life and increase their opportunity to go to college. These two programs reinforce a culture of excellence where hard work and dedication, to one's education, is rewarded.
