🌟 We’re excited to announce our application for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant through NCDPI today! Wish us luck!! This significant step allows us to deepen our commitment to academic excellence and resilience in our community.

📚 Through our long-standing Academic Mentoring program, we’ve empowered countless students in Raleigh to overcome educational barriers. With initiatives like Aprendo for English Language Learners and our general mentoring, we help students achieve remarkable academic growth—often tripling national averages!

🏫 The 21st CCLC grant is designed to support programs just like ours, offering students from low-income families access to high-quality, out-of-school learning experiences. It’s a perfect match for N2N’s mission to equip our community’s youth with the skills and support they need for lifelong success.

🤝 By partnering with Title I schools and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students, this grant will help us expand our reach and continue to defy the odds against under-resourced students.

💪 Join us as we continue to inspire and transform lives through education! Together, we can make a lasting impact.

Building foundational language skills is more than just reaching a grade level. Our Aprendo Academic Mentoring program delves deep, supporting ELL (English Language Learners) in every dimension, from listening, speaking, literacy, reading, conversation and comprehension. Often coming from households where English is seldom spoken, our students thrive with fun one on one relationships and tailored curriculum based on their unique gaps. Through Aprendo, they’re not just prepared for tomorrow, but for a lifetime of learning. 📚✨

A little over halfway through and soaring! 🚀 We can’t wait to share the incredible end of year academic growth among our Aprendo Mentoring students. Witnessing these blossoming mentoring relationships is a true joy. Relationships close gaps and we got the data (and photos) to prove it! Here’s to more learning, growing, and thriving together! 🌟
