Semillas Program
The mission of the Semillas Program is to equip families with a comprehensive understanding of the United States school system compared to schools in their home countries. We are dedicated to empowering families to become effective advocates for their children's educational needs, offering them the knowledge and resources essential for navigating the educational landscape successfully. Through Semillas, we aim to cultivate a supportive environment where families can actively engage in their children's education, ensuring access to the optimal opportunities within the school and post-secondary environments to foster complete academic success."
This program fosters collaboration, understanding, and empowerment within our school community. By providing essential resources and support, we believe every family can play an active role in their child's educational journey and dreams. If you're interested in implementing the Semillas Program in your school county or have any inquiries, please get in touch with Yolanda Adams at adamsy1@appstate.edu or 828-773-0207. Let's sow the seeds of knowledge and empowerment for a brighter future!
GEAR UP L.E.A.D. Student Coalition
The GEAR UP L.E.A.D Coalition Program is a unique and innovative program that aims to cultivate the next generation of student leaders.
Our goal is to empower and nurture the leadership skills of young individuals, providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to positively impact their communities, families, and beyond.
Developing student leadership skills is crucial for several reasons. First, it empowers students to become active contributors to their communities and society. Leadership skills enable students to take initiative, solve problems, and make informed decisions, preparing them for the challenges they may face in their personal and professional lives. Additionally, cultivating leadership abilities fosters effective communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills, which are essential for success in various fields. Students with strong leadership skills are better equipped to collaborate with others, build positive relationships, and navigate complex social dynamics.
The GEAR UP L.E.A.D Student Coalition Program is a commitment to building a brighter, more compassionate future. Join us on this transformative journey and become a leader who not only succeeds personally but also contributes meaningfully to the collective well-being of society. Let's create a ripple effect of positive change together.
