Mission and programs · 2023

• Leadership, Education, and Access Program (LEAP): LEAP supports diverse, multi-ethnic communities living in Kent, WA. LEAP is a home-based Early Learning program that enhances parenting knowledge, healthy child development, school readiness, parent-child attachment, cultural knowledge sharing for home visitors, building parent networks through gatherings and events, and providing opportunities for children to play and learn together.

  Expenses $340,415

• Learn, Integrate, Network, Collaborate (LINC): LINC provides wrap-around, holistic support to Early Learning families by providing linkage and referral to community services and other opportunities when and how families need it. LINC services are delivered with a focus on relationships, building trust, effective communication, and client comfort, control, and satisfaction.

• Experiential Learning Academy (ELA): The ELA is an out-of-school time enrichment program that aims to close the opportunity gap for newcomer refugee youth by building their soft skills and leadership skills. ELA combines peer-to-peer mentoring and targeted academic enrichment opportunities in a supportive out-of-school time and space for newly arrived refugee and immigrant youth.

  Expenses $93,660

• Reading Programs: CB's reading programs target elementary school aged youth from the Kent School District so that they are reading at standard levels.

  Expenses $205,627

• Summit: The Summit Program is funded by the WA State Department of Commerce, to teach newcomers, 18 years and older, to use simple computer and application tools to support successful resettlement into their new homes. In our preliminary research, we discovered the pandemic widened information inequity and put newly arrived young adults and parents at a disadvantage since many have language barriers and don't have the skills to navigate or access information, which can place a barrier in accessing resources like food assistance, COVID guidelines, and employment opportunities. The Summit program closes the digital divide facing recently arrived refugee and immigrant communities and encourages participants to become economically self-sufficient and socially integrated into the community as soon as possible.

  Expenses $124,880

• SPARK: A systems navigation program for families living in the City of Seattle. This program is funded by the City of Seattle.

  Expenses $95,837

  Expenses $54,673

Each partner has existing community relationships and provides services in Kent that align with the King County initiatives of community connection, health, housing, and economic opportunity. Each partner has engaged community residents in conversations about health, housing, and economic opportunity and those conversations have influenced services, policies, and opportunities for improved community conditions.
