Through our leadership programs we have been able
to

• Entertain our children and families and therefore
  strongly believe to have been effected in
  reducing community juvenile crime
• Offer families and community members
  significantly expanded learning opportunities
  through our strong partnerships and
  collaborations.
• Created parent teacher mentoring volunteer
  programs,
• Obtain parent rooms to conduct meeting and
  created space where parents feel welcome
• Involve the families to work on community issues
  because parents conclude that what seems like
  "personal problems" often have public solution
  when organized.
• Work on housing, health, and immigration issues
