Abriendo Puertas
Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors) Program provides opportunities for the entire community to explore cultural and educational resources, fostering a sense of belonging. Our goal is to build bridges and strengthen connections within our communities.
Our Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors) Program offers educational and enrichment opportunities designed to support and inspire our community's youth through:
​
Tutoring Program: We offer tutoring for children from Spanish-speaking homes in grades 1-5 throughout the school year. Our program is designed to provide quality academic support, fostering confidence, success, and independence in their learning journey. We assist students with their homework and work to enhance their reading and writing skills.
​
Enrichment Programs: Our programs includes a variety of enrichment activities such as karate, art classes, music lessons, and trips to the Community Theatre, Science Center, and Museum of Art. These activities aim to broaden the horizons of our youth, opening doors to new experiences and opportunities from elementary through high school, as well as benefiting families as a whole. Enrichment activities are open to the entire community.
​
Juntos Partnership: In collaboration with Juntos, we support middle and high school students in their pursuit of higher education and trade school. We also assist with filling out the FAFSA each year.
​
​​Our programs are made possible through the generous support of foundations, community partners, donors, and volunteers, enabling us to provide accessible opportunities to our community.
