“Part III-Program Service Accomplishments-Help Me Grow (HMG)-The Help Me Grow program has greatly benefited Latino families in 2024, strengthening relationships with the Highline Area Food Bank and engaging PLN volunteers. Monthly workshops encouraged parents to prioritize both their childrens education and their personal growth, with many signing up for library cards to further support their childrens learning. A scheduled event with Puget Sound Energy to inform families about community discount programs was rescheduled to February 7, 2025, due to a weather-related delay. One mother expressed how the program improved her parenting approach, making her feel more confident in educating her children, and how she values the positive reinforcement from them. The program has also helped build strong community connections, with families noticing improvements in both their children and their own lives. A participant shared her positive experience with mental health therapy at SeaMar Clinic, which helped her overcome internal struggles. Additionally, after receiving dental care referrals through Health Point, she saw significant improvements in her health. Her daughters confidence grew through the Play and Learn program, and she now actively shares the knowledge shes gained from the program, encouraging others to participate. The participant expressed heartfelt gratitude for the PLN program, which helped her feel more open and connected to helpful community resources.SOWA-PNL summer programs continue to positively impact the community by offering opportunities for learning, social-emotional development, cultural awareness, and fun. A new music class was added this year, and children gained skills such as self-esteem, emotional expression, teamwork, creativity and concentration. Experienced staff were hired to meet the evolving needs of each participant. In the Aprendamos Juntos program, we focused on developing leadership, integration, reflection, and responsibility skills. The program nurtured a safe and supportive environment where children could grow, learn, and enhance their social-emotional skills. The program also encouraged intellectual curiosity, creativity, and motivation for learning. Feedback was actively integrated into all programs, and participants were involved as leaders shaping the programss success. We continue to collaborate with new organizations to improve services for the Latino community.

These skills will support their future academic, personal, and professional growth.
