Schoolwide ENL Programs for Immigrant Families

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

There is a lack of resources for families with immigrant parents. This is especially an issue in East Flatbush where 53% of the population is foreign-born. We need to connect services not just to children but their parents who do not speak English.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

If parents are not equipped, how can they be stakeholders in the decision-making process of the world's future generation.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

We need to educate parents not just students with joint ENL programming (servicing the entire family).

Who would that help?

This would help parents and the students as well.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

East Flatbush
