Major Activities

Activity 2

The after-school tutoring program provides educational support to over 600 children in kindergarten through second grade in four elementary schools in immokalee. The goal of the program is to provide academic support and enrichment to ensure that students are functioning on grade level when they enter third grade. All students in the program have been identified as "at risk for failure" by their teachers. Students are pre and post-tested using the district approved assessment instrument. The assessment results indicate that 89% of the students demonstrated gains in vocabulary and 82% of the students increased their fair score in the area of probability of reading success. An 8 week summer educational program is provided to the students to remediate the summer learning loss that can occur when children are out of school for an extended period of time. Pre and post-assessment data reflects that 90% of the students in the summer program made gains in reading, vocabulary and math. There is no fee for parents for this program.

Activity 3

The tutor corps program offers a solution to reduce the high school dropout rate and increase the opportunities for post-secondary education for immokalee high school students. There are 70 students participating in the program and 105 enrolled in college. The program components include: a wage for working in the after-school tutoring program, a comprehensive college prep program, a mentor from the community, summer pre-college experiences, and college scholarship funds up to 4000 per year for every year the student is in the program. For the past 8 years 100% of the students in the program graduated from high school and were accepted to college. The college graduation rate for the program exceeds 90%. The average gpa for the students attending college last year was 3.01. Students are graduating from colleges and universities and are entering professional careers as engineers, teachers, business management trainees, social workers, attorneys, physicians, accountants and many other professions as well. The students often return to immokalee with the desire to give back to the community. Several students have returned to work in professional positions at the guadalupe center.
