Mission and programs · 2022

• EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAMS (ELP) THE EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM (ELP) WORKS TO COMBAT SOCIOECONOMIC BARRIERS AND STRENGTHEN THE LEADERSHIP ABILITIES OF UNDERSERVED FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS AND YOUTH FROM IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA. OUR GOAL IS TO EMPOWER YOUTH, SETTING HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR PURSUING POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION AND LAUNCHING SUCCESSFUL CAREERS. USING AN INNOVATIVE "PIPELINE" APPROACH, ELP PROVIDES LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS IN FOUR CONSECUTIVE STAGES: FROM AFTER-SCHOOL STEM LEARNING FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, TO COLLEGE PREP WORKSHOPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, TO ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS AND FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS. THE ELP OFFERS A FOUR-STAGE PIPELINE OF SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, AND COLLEGE. FIRST, THE ELP STEM/ROBOTICS CLUBS ADDRESS THE MINORITY EMPLOYMENT GAP IN HIGH-GROWTH CAREER FIELDS BY HELPING STUDENTS IN GRADES 6-8 INCREASE CONFIDENCE IN STEM SUBJECT AREAS. PARTICIPANTS MEET AFTER SCHOOL TO WORK THROUGH ROBOTICS LESSONS ALIGNED WITH COMMON CORE STANDARDS, AND ARE INTRODUCED TO ELP I AND II. SECOND, ELP I INCREASES COLLEGE READINESS FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-12, ALLOWING THEM TO OVERCOME SYSTEMIC BARRIERS AND ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL. PARTICIPANTS ATTEND WORKSHOPS, ARE MATCHED WITH A MENTOR, PARTICIPATE IN SPEECH AND ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS, VISIT COLLEGE CAMPUSES, AND EXPLORE PROFESSIONS THROUGH A CAREER PANEL. THIRD, ELP II PICKS UP WHERE ELP I LEAVES OFF, SUPPORTING HIGH-SCHOOL SENIORS TO NOT ONLY GAIN ACCEPTANCE TO COLLEGE, BUT ALSO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO GRADUATE WITH POST-SECONDARY DEGREES AND ESTABLISH CAREERS. PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE INTENSIVE ONE-ON-ONE COACHING AND COUNSELING SERVICES THROUGH WEEKLY AFTERSCHOOL MEETINGS. FOURTH, ELP III FOCUSES ON PROVIDING INTENSIVE MENTORSHIP AND SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING LOCAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THE ELP MENTORS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN HELPING ACHIEVE ITS MISSION. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE PROGRAM, STUDENTS BUILD ASPIRATIONS AND EXPECTATIONS, DEVELOP A LIFE VISION, INCREASE THEIR PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL BASE, AND DEVELOP A NETWORK OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT THEM TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAM OF ATTENDING COLLEGE. EDU-FUTURO HAS A 'TOOL KIT' OF TRAINING MATERIALS - INCLUDING FACILITATOR MANUALS, LESSON PLANS, VISUAL PRESENTATIONS AND HANDOUTS THAT CAN BE USED FOR TRAINING OF TRAINERS AND FOR SCALING UP FUTURE ELP AND PARENT LEADERSHIP TRAININGS ACROSS ADDITIONAL LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. SUMMER INTERNSHIPS AS A COMPLEMENT TO OUR ELP PROGRAMS, IN THE SUMMER OF 2017 EDU-FUTURO STARTED OFFERING SUMMER INTERNSHIPS FOR YOUTH WHO ARE GRADUATES OF THE EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM (ELP), IN THEIR AREAS OF PROFESSIONAL INTEREST THROUGH EDU-FUTURO'S LOCAL BUSINESS PARTNERS. THE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES GIVE OUR LEADERS THE POSSIBILITY TO DEVELOP THEIR RESUME AND REFERENCE POOL, AS WELL AS THEIR PROFESSIONAL SOFT SKILLS (INCLUDING TEAMWORK, COMMUNICATION, RELIABILITY, AND TIME MANAGEMENT), AND HARD SKILLS (SUCH AS DATABASE MANAGEMENT, RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS, COMPUTER LITERACY, AND REPORT WRITING).
