Ana A. Brito Foundation's FUEL programs create a brighter future for our children and youth

This fall, we re-tooled our childcare programs offered during our adult ESOL/Computer classes. Childcare has been re-envisioned as FUEL, a full-fledged academic enrichment program for children in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Academic enrichment is open to everyone: adult learners, local school students, and the general public. Van transportation is provided from Rosemont Elementary School to students who come directly after school. Approximately 20 second-grade students who are behind in their reading levels are participating in Let's Read. All other students (about 50 in total) are divided by age into two categories. They are supported in multiple subjects, and learning is reinforced. This includes (reading, math, science, and social studies). Academic enrichment is enlivened with art and music activities. Children love it!

These programs are free to families. Your GIVING TUESDAY contributions help to:

Offset the cost of hearty snacks for children and youth (some of whom come straight from school or spend 3 hours with us)
Supplement the cost of supplies
Cover the cost of our academic enrichment coordinator.

FUEL programs foster confidence and skill-building to set children and youth on a path for positive growth. These include:

After-school academic enrichment programs for children pre-kindergarten through fifth grade
Let's Read: reading skill-building opportunities for 2nd graders
Children’s enrichment activities and programs
Soccer clinic
Leadership development through SSL opportunities and workshops for youth
