The right support at the right time makes all the difference. Please consider a year-end gift.
David (2nd grade), Victor (6th grade) and their parents were really struggling. Struggling to feel comfortable and competent at school. Struggling financially. But their mother trusted that Identity Out-of-School Time programs would be good for her sons because she was already getting help with sorely needed basics, like food and clothing. So she enrolled David in Jóvenes de Mañana Academic and Social-Emotional Support Program at Gaithersburg Elementary School, and Victor in Líderes de Mañana Social-Emotional Support Program next door at Gaithersburg Middle School. Both boys were more than reluctant. Victor had only one friend; David didn’t know any other program participants and dreaded the first week.
Soon the boys began to blossom.
David overcame his fear of failing, which accelerated improvements in reading in both English and Spanish. After starting the school year reading below grade, he proudly finished second grade reading on grade level. Victor learned new ways to cope with stress and regulate tough emotions. 

They both strengthened many of the social and emotional skills necessary to thrive in school and beyond. They made good friends, gained confidence in their future, and built up their natural resiliency - skills that help young people stay connected to their school community and their education. Their mom reports David and Victor started the current school year with enthusiasm and confidence!
