Project Title: Supporting Immigrant and Refugee Students in Academic Enrichment and Athletic Engagement
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Kandelia\u2019s programs center recently-arrived immigrant and refugee youth, and their broader family support system. The students in Kandelia\u2019s programs are resilient and resourceful, and like all young people they\u2019re full of potential. They also face barriers that can limit their opportunities. Our students have all experienced the isolation and disruption of adapting to a new language, culture, and educational system, and on top of that many have to take on adult responsibilities. Learning to navigate resources and working to help support their families means they get to spend less time just being kids or focusing on their own educational goals. Many immigrant and refugee youth have also experienced trauma, loss, and disrupted education.<\/p>\n
For nearly 20 years, Kandelia has worked in partnership with Seattle World School (SWS) to provide high quality enrichment programs to all students and families enrolled in the school. SWS is one of only a few schools in the country designed as a preliminary entry point for refugee and immigrant children in their quest for academic achievement and full participation in American society.
\nKandelia\u2019s youth programs are focused on equitable access to education and formative childhood experiences. Kandelia\u2019s extended day enrichment programming includes English classes, tutoring, soccer and other sports, and a range of classes and activities based on student interest spanning the arts, digital storytelling, service learning, and field trips. Our Youth Programs also provide support during the school day including lunchtime activities, pairing skilled volunteers with teachers for home language assistance, and supporting school events for students and families. <\/p>\n
Kandelia\u2019s program activities and strategies are culturally relevant, and are informed by evidence-based research that has shown positive impacts and results for emergent bilingual youth and families. <\/p>\n
We serve 200 low-income, immigrant and refugee youth many of whom are homeless and speak more than 28 languages.<\/p>\n
