Edu Futuro Arlington Office:
Mission Statement The mission of Edu-Futuro is to empower immigrant and underserved youth and families through mentorship, education, leadership development, parent engagement, and workforce development.
Program Summary Edu-Futuro’s work is focused on breaking the cycle of poverty through education: providing immigrant youth and their families with Two-Generation programming designed to help young people become first-generation college students, while equipping their parents with the tools to navigate the educational system, bolster family communication, and obtain stable, family-sustaining employment. Our major programs include: 1) The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) provides over 1,000 immigrant and Latino students in grades 5-12 with a series of interconnected services designed to help them acquire the educational and professional skills that will lead to high school graduation and postsecondary education. Our flagship program for youth is ELP-II, in which students are matched with mentors for a full year, and receive guidance through the college enrollment, scholarship, and financial aid application processes. 2) Parent Empowerment Services (PES) offer workshops and individualized case management that empowers parents to become more involved in the education of their children, helps to improve financial stability, and strengthens family cohesion. 3) Workforce Development Services (WDS) include “Tech for Parents,” a computer literacy program that provides training in such areas as computer and smartphone hardware, internet/email usage, and Google Drive/Translate; and one-on-one employment counseling for beneficiaries requiring individualized support. | |
