We acknowledge the power of a strong educational start and want to secure this for the youth of Greater Englewood. We envision a community that is invested in learning and supporting educators, parents and students alike. Our approach is one geared towards holistic youth development where all students are reading at or above grade level by 3rd grade, the graduation rate is 100%, civic education occurs in all schools and all students have access to a mentor. The Englewood community values access to rich emotional resources that put students first. Together we will impact academic excellence and social and emotional well-being of students.
A program for everyone
In our Education and Youth working group residents, stakeholders, and education officials have been developing and implementing programming to increase parent engagement and leadership, enhancing and growing parent leadership in schools. We continue to collaborate to bring additional resources to local schools to support reading and math academic performance. And we have been working to increase after school programming for youth in the community through fundraising, capacity building, and infrastructure.
