Participant Impact
Angelica, a 7-year-old girl, and her family moved to the U.S. While attempting to enroll to 2nd grade in her new Ohio school, she was placed in 1st grade again after receiving low scores on her English language proficiency exam. After starting 1st grade again, Angelica did not receive the necessary language assistance and was failling all her classes that were only in English. Desperate, Angelica's mother contacted the Ohio Hispanic Coalition's Niños en Acción programs and enrolled Angelica to the Summer Enrichment Camp and Afterschool Program. Angelica is back on track as she improved by two grade levels in English Reading & Writing during the program and is now attending 3rd grade with other students her age during the 2022-2023 school year.
Enrollment for the After-School Program takes place in September each year. To enroll your student in the program, please call the respective site.
