High Schoolers Graduates

Aprendamos Juntos Program
Aprendamos Juntos Program is a multigenerational After School program. Adults from the English classes and children 6 months to 8th grade graduated. We love to celebrate life milestones!

One after another the families arrived, hurrying to the buffet table to set down their offerings: empanadas, pupusas, chicken tinga, choco flan, and fanciful jello molds. For many, La Clausura – the closing ceremony – of the Aprendamos Juntos family learning program felt like a return to normalcy.

After two years of remote learning, job loss, quarantine, and anxiety, families could finally celebrate face-to-face, share food, and enjoy the creative performances of their children and dedicated teachers. Dressed in traditional clothing from the diferent states from Mexico, one classroom offered a tightly choreographed dance.

Another drew a round of boisterous applause as their paper maché volcanoes erupted in colorful smoke. But for many, the puppet show where colorful animal cutouts danced across the stage as participants sang a spirited Mexican children’s song stole the show.
Youth Programming Club
Pictured here are students graduating from our Programming Club. They were spoken to and inspired by software engineers, Janeth and Filiberto.
Early Learning Graduation
Early Learning is our program for children 3 to 5 year olds. Where parents and children meet to positively emphasize interpersonal relationships through play. We also collaborated with Zeno to introduce early learning in math through fun exercises with games.
Adults Computer Lab
This Learning Lab for parents was created with the aim to gain technology skills and reduce the barriers to technology access. Families are gaining skills to become comfortable and competent in navigating school programs, checking email, applying for jobs, doing basic research, and assisting children with homework assignments.
