Education
I was so happy! All my family had citizenship and I didn’t, but I knew I needed to get it. Everybody was voting and I said, ‘I need to vote, I need to be a citizen, an American.

Rising Readers & Rising Up
We have 2 programs supporting K-5 Multilingual Learners (MLs) at our partnering CMS schools. Rising Up is an afterschool tutoring program focusing on increasing students' foundational literacy skills and English Language proficiency.
Rising Readers is 6-week summer literacy in which students are improving literacy and language skills to help prevent the summer academic slide or regression. Students connect and apply the literacy knowledge and content to STEAM project-based enrichment.
We are often seeking individuals to volunteer with our youth programs whether it’s helping to prepare materials for the program, delivering materials to our schools, or even assisting tutors and teachers during either program. If you are interested in supporting our youth programs in any of these ways, please reach out to Katie Austin, Youth and Family Education Coordinator at kaustin@ihclt.org.
