How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Scaffolded Scholarship Model
    methodology: scaffolded_support_model
    By providing scholarships alongside sustained academic and social supports, we improve student retention and success in bilingual high schools because financial aid alone is insufficient without holistic developmental backing.
  • Volunteer-Teacher Staffing Model
    methodology: volunteer_teacher_model
    By recruiting and training English-speaking volunteer teachers to staff community-run schools, we increase access to bilingual education in low-income communities because it leverages community resources and reduces dependency on costly professional staffing.
