The Cesar E. Chavez Fellowship is a year of volunteer service sponsored by AmeriCorps*VISTA.
Through the Cesar E. Chavez Fellowship, The Cesar Chavez Foundation intends to honor its commitment and continue providing quality programs that emphasize education, leadership and life skills for the families that reside, within each of our affordable housing communities.
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 KidsMath modules. 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.
