Looking Forward

Data collection proves effectiveness of programs

93% of students w/ 2 years in MpowR programs will improve GPA by an average of 0.97 grade points!!

Continuity / continuation of programs important for student success.

Looking Forward Despite overall gains,

many students still struggling studying in their second language.

Could use more staff (2-3 staff per site not enough) or staff volunteer recruiter, both would make program more effective.

Looking Forward Education is extremely

important for a prosperous, dignified life.

We would love to provide these programs at all of our sites.
