New Haven/León Sister City Project

The primary work of the NH/LSCP in León is to support community organization initiatives in the rural community of Goyena, and to facilitate programs and projects that supplement the efforts of the formal education system. 

This work includes:  

• Support for the community preschool with capacity-building efforts for the local teachers, nutritional assistance for the students, and support for the school infrastructure. 

• Facilitation of an after-school program for first, second, and third graders, with special emphasis on small-group work and attention to those with learning difficulties, and training for teachers.   

• Accompaniment of a youth leadership committee, and support of the group’s educational workshops and recreational activities. 

• Support for young people (and their families) struggling for access to secondary school education.   

• Organizational support for the parents’ council at the preschool, as well as for the board of directors of the community. 

• Support for local facilitators of adult literacy groups
