“ETI- Emerging Teacher Institute: In partnership with the University of North Texas at Dallas, the ETI initiative is focused on engaging and partnering with the community, with a focus on parents, schools, and community colleges, to identify and attract qualified students to apply to and enroll in UNTDs Emerging Teacher Institute.Early Escalera: Unidos US program, Early Escalera, seeks to improve educational and career outcomes for students by increasing high school graduation rates, postsecondary enrollment and completion rates, and advancement into careers with opportunities for upward mobility. The program focuses on 9th and 10th grade students to begin an early pipeline of leadership development, self-awareness, and college and career readiness. The program provides students with opportunities, resources, and support they may not otherwise receive by implementing its personal development and college and career readiness curriculum with a national network of community-based organizations and charter schools. Escalera STEM: Unidos US program, Escalera STEM, supports at-risk, economically disadvantaged minority high school students by helping youth graduate from high school, prepare for college, and make informed plans for their careers with emphasis in STEM fields, an area that has significant employment opportunities, but minorities are largely underrepresented. The program introduces and exposes youth to these fields by connecting students to real STEM professional mentors and workplaces to offer opportunities for internships, career summits, career shadowing, and a broader resource network.”

“CASA- Cultura, Aprendizaje, Servicio, Accin: Unidos US service-learning program called CASA works to develop culturally aware youth leaders grades 6th 8th who serve as agents of change to address issues that impact their communities. Through active engagement, students develop complex critical thinking and reflective skills while gaining high levels of academic learning. Since CASA is a yearlong program, the funding that Unidos US provided was not sufficient to continue sustaining the program. The Concilios Community Engagement Department oversees a community action network (CAN). CAN was developed to help build a whole community where families take ownership as the leaders and decision makers. CAN has established a unique model in which the parent leaders of the program, all low-income mothers, are seated at the decision-making table and have been fully integrated into all levels of development, planning, and implementation of each project and activity. Equipping and supporting mothers to be leaders in their neighborhoods, to be civically engaged and to build a sense of community is the best way to create whole communities that collectively support school readiness for the long term. The intention of this program was for The Concilio to form it and then to hand it over to our Bachman Lake Together partners where it is still operational and successful.”
