Summer Enrichment Program
Consejo Hispano centers the pursuit of educational equity by helping ensure that Latinx students have access to the educational foundation they need to reach their individual potential through the Summer Enrichment Program. We accomplish this by connecting program lessons to students’ cultural background, valuing students’ unique strengths, embracing our culture, and building partnerships with Latinx parents. Using our cultural background to impart knowledge, skills, and attitudes makes learning experiences more personally meaningful, engaging and effective. Our Summer Enrichment Program connects students more deeply to their communities’ histories, and present-day realities, while also situating them as knowledge-holders.
