Mission: "To achieve educational equity in Minnesota through academic support and advocacy that empowers Latino youth and their families"
La Escuelita is a non-profit ALC/SES after school and summer program focused solely on academic enrichment and leadership development for Latino immigrant and non-immigrant youth currently enrolled in grades 6-12 in Minneapolis schools.
We provide programming in a culturally and linguistically appropriate environment that engages, educates and empowers youth and their families to succeed! At La Escuelita we nurture and promote the many different cultural and linguistic traditions and assets our Latino youth bring to our site recognizing that they enrich and add to our community as a whole.
Our programs follow the Minneapolis Public School ALC academic year calendar. This calendar can be found on the MPS website. We conduct 3 sessions annually, in the fall, winter and summer. Our fall program begins in October and ends in December. Our winter program begins in January and ends in May. Our Summer Challenge Program runs June through July. The academic year program week runs Monday thru Thursday from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. La Escuelita has the capacity to serve 65 youth per program session during the academic year and 50 youth during the summer. La Escuelita provides transportation home to all youth daily. We depend on our partners at MPS and each school for their support to assist youth through transportation from their school to our site. Youth are provided bus tokens if their school is unable to assist them and during our summer program.
La Escuelita’s services are 100% free of charge. The only support we ask from our youth’s families is to assist their youth’s academic success through encouragement and engagement.
Program services include:
* Bi-lingual MBST and MCA II Reading, Comprehension, Writing and Math courses;
* One-to-One and Small Group Tutoring for homework completion;
* Leadership Development;
* Civic and Social Justice Engagement opportunities,
* Math and Science for Girls
* Cultural Arts in theater, dance, and multi-media with local artists;
* Technology Programs and Access;
* College Prep and Campus Visits;
* Internships with local corporations;
* Health and Self Care for middle school youth;
