Education and youth development:to ensure that brooklyn residents have the skills and resources they need to support their families, camba provides adult literacy programs targeted both to native-born u.s. Citizens and immigrants from the caribbean, latin america, eastern europe, asia and africa. Adult literacy programs help learners improve their english language and math skills while our civics classes help immigrants qualify for u.s. Citizenship. Our young adult literacy program started in 2008 and targets young adults, ages 16 through 24, who are out of school, unemployed and reading at a fourth or fifth grade level. Many participants are parents who have to juggle childcare and other family issues and also may need help with income support or housing. By dealing with each student as a whole person, the number of these young adults who move on to obtain their ged is maximized.impact: in 2012, camba served 1,341 individuals in its adult literacy programs. Forty-three percent of those learners were promoted at least one educational level. Among adult literacy students who had such goals, 78% entered employment, 59% retained their employment, and 79% entered a post-secondary education or training program. As for our young adult literacy program, 85% of the 94 students finished their program, and 49% of them were promoted at least one educational level.to achieve camba's vision in which youth acquire the skills they need to successfully transition to a productive adulthood, we provide over 9,000 youth with after-school, adolescent pregnancy prevention, youth employment, academic enrichment, and counseling services. Based primarily in 30 public schools, camba's youth development programs have been designed to promote the development of six core competencies: cognitive and educational competence; personal and social competence; special interests and talents; leadership and citizenship; health and physical well-being; and preparation for work.impact: in 2012, camba's after-school programs kept about 2,000 children safe and engaged in creative learning activities while their parents worked. More than 800 high school students gained hands-on work experience through subsidized internships and summer jobs.
