Message from the President of the Board of Directors

Edu-Futuro continues on the path of growth, and this year was no exception.

We are proud of what we have accomplished: expanding our programs and offering services to 1,694 children, youth, and their parents through our Language Enrichment Programs, Robotics Clubs, Emerging Leaders Programs (ELP), and Parent Empowerment Services.

In this, our 20th anniversary, we celebrated the positive change Edu-Futuro has brought to the lives of immigrant and underserved youth and families who were empowered through our programs. We celebrated one of our ELP II students who graduated from Washington Liberty High School in 2015, graduated from Virginia Tech in May 2019, and was recruited by a large government contractor based in Northern Virginia with a starting salary of $85,000! We also celebrated the accomplishments of many parents who had been earning low hourly wages, until they sought and received our Parent Empowerment services, and today have secured improved employment with a higher income and full benefits. This is the way Edu-Futuro is breaking the cycle of poverty.

We continue to set clear and realistic goals to ensure ongoing support for our students and parents, with a renewed vision of Edu-Futuro as the catalyst to realize the potential of immigrant youth and their families. With this vision in mind, this year we began the launch of ELP III, which is presently in the implementation phase. ELP III will extend our trusted services to ELP II graduates attending local colleges, providing on-campus mentoring and support to help them navigate the challenges of college life, and develop the skills required to obtain their first professional jobs. We are currently developing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with post-secondary institutions to partner and secure funding to assist our ELP II graduates during the 2019–2020 Fiscal Year. Finally, aligned with the development of these MOUs, we continue strengthening partnerships with firms, companies, and public and private institutions to assist our ELP students. Many thanks to all who provided internship opportunities to our ELP students.

This year was very challenging for some members of our immigrant communities, and Edu-Futuro partnered with several foundations to develop a curriculum for citizenship and civic participation. Our approach goes beyond the typical classroom model, and gives our clients hands-on experience in participation and engagement with federal, state, and local governments. We remain firm in our commitment to our clients, ensuring that through the power of education, workforce development, parent empowerment, and civic participation, we respond to the needs of the communities we serve. To our partners, supporters, and donors, we thank you for helping us to achieve our goals. Without your financial support, and generous volunteer hours, the work of Edu-Futuro would not be possible.

With warmest regards,

Samantha O’Leary, MBA, MPP

Message from the Executive Director

Edu-Futuro remains strong. As we continue working in collaboration with the Board of Directors, staff, AmeriCorps members, Associate Council, volunteers, and our financial supporters, and despite many challenges, Edu-Futuro grew by approximately 15 percent during the 2018–19 fiscal year, to $1,136,811 in unaudited revenue.

This financial growth enabled Edu-Futuro to continue strengthening its delivery of critical services to Latino and other immigrant families, providing 1,901 services to 1,694 unduplicated clients, representing 18.3 percent growth in services compared with the previous fiscal year.

Our continued aim to be one of the best well-managed nonprofit organizations in the Washington metropolitan area was recognized by GuideStar by keeping Edu-Futuro at the Platinum level, the highest level of recognition that a nonprofit can receive nationwide for transparency and stewardship. We also won several new grants, established new partnerships, and received public recognition for our work. These accomplishments, which are described in our “Program Year Highlights” section, allowed us to increase capacity and deliver more services in Arlington and Fairfax Counties.

I am happy to report that all of our 45 ELP II students were accepted into a college or university, and they were offered more than $2.4 million dollars in scholarships and financial aid for their first year of college. Finally, as you will read in the “Parent Empowerment” section, Edu-Futuro increased social and workforce development services to the hard-working mothers and fathers of the students we served, positively impacting the immigrant community of Northern Virginia. I look forward to a new fiscal year in which Edu-Futuro continues empowering more immigrant and underserved youth, first-generation college students, and their families through mentorship, education, leadership development, and parent engagement.

Thank you for your continued support,

Jorge E. Figueredo, MPP

2018–19 Program Year Highlights

July 2018 – Francis Scott Key Elementary School PTA in Arlington, VA partnered with Edu-Futuro to establish the Dr. Marjorie L. Myers Scholarship Fund to benefit college-bounds students who attended the elementary school. The Executive Director was interviewed by the Comcast Newsmakers team in their Washington DC studios. The interview was broadcast to Comcast customers and distributed to the general public at ComcastNewsmakers.com. Watch the interview at the following link: https://comcastnewsmakers.com/Videos/2018/7/20/Edu-Futuro

August 2018 – Edu-Futuro supported and participated in the 2018 Latino Civic Engagement Conference at the Ida Lee Recreation Center in Leesburg, Virginia. Organized by the Virginia Latino Leaders Council Conference (VLCC), the goal of the conference was “to bring together residents and young people with Latino elected and appointed officials and other experts to build powerful strategies for civic engagement.” Edu-Futuro brought more than 40 people, including students, parents, AmeriCorps, and some members of our staff. Thanks to this participation, Edu-Futuro was featured in two news articles in El Tiempo Latino and Metro Latino USA.

September 2018 – Catalogue of Philanthropy renewed Edu-Futuro’s seal recognizing E-F as one of the best nonprofits in Education in the Washington region. The Fairfax County School Board (FCSB) also recognized Edu-Futuro at their public hearing as part of Hispanic Heritage Month.

October 2018 – Fairfax County Public Schools and Edu-Futuro signed a systemwide MOU, recognizing Edu-Futuro as an Ignite Partner. With this agreement E-F is able to support more students and families by allowing the organization to deliver more services throughout the Fairfax County Public School System. In October, Edu-Futuro celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a sold-out Gala at the Key Bridge Marriott in Arlington, VA.

November 2018 – Edu-Futuro staff attended the Latino Partnership for Success (LPS) at Chantilly High School. The Executive Director gave a presentation to the attendants as LPS’ partner. This partnership consists of all the principals and Parent Liaison Leaders of the

elementary and middle schools that feed into Chantilly High School (the “Chantilly pyramid”), to represent all Hispanic members of the community, and to work together to eliminate barriers from elementary school to 12th grade.

December 2018 – The Washington Forrest Foundation selected Edu-Futuro’s Executive Director as one of two nonprofit leaders to make a presentation during their 50th anniversary celebration.

January 2019 – APAH contracted with Edu-Futuro to deliver E-F’s Programs to residents at their buildings.

February 2019 – The Executive Director attended the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s Legislative Reception 2019 and met with several state delegates and senators from the Virginia General Assembly.

March 2019 – The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia selected Edu-Futuro as one of the nonprofits that would be highlighted at their 2019 Raise the Region gala in October, 2019.

April 2019 – The Executive Director joined the members of the Virginia Latino Leaders Council at a meeting with Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, and his policy staff to bring to his attention critical issues that are affecting the Hispanic/Latino community in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

May 2019 – The Executive Director continued conversations with George Mason University representatives, and started conversations with Virginia Tech University to identify ways to partner with Edu-Futuro.

June 2019 – As part of Edu-Futuro’s civic participation component added to our ELP programs, Edu-Futuro organized its first Advocacy Summit for high school students, their parents, and members of the community. Some 160 people attended the Summit, along with an excellent group of presenters, including elected officials at the local, state, and federal levels. Participants received important information – in English and Spanish – about civic engagement and community leadership.

Michael Jiménez Sandoval“ When I began my academic journey, I was scared of what was to come from high school. I honestly didn’t feel like I was anything special. I was wrong. I learned about what it means to be confident with my own abilities, what it means to grow and what it means to persevere. As one of the shyest people freshman year it is oddly poetic that I was the graduation speaker for my high school. I got to make friends and lifelong memories in the pursuit for a higher education. I would go on to become a nationally acclaimed Questbridge Scholar with a full ride to Amherst College. A feat that would seem impossible to me 4 years ago. ELP I was a stepping stone for my success. The techniques I learned helped me greatly in the application process. The public speaking practice and winning the speech competition helped embed the confidence in me to speak in front of large crowds. ELP II exceeded my expectations. I built a bond with my mentor and made sure my essays were of quality. With the Questbridge application I would spend several hours with my mentor to ensure I was telling my story correctly. Even after obtaining my full ride I still spent a lot of time with my mentor for advice about life and my school work. Overall, I cherished the program and thank Edu-Futuro for offering such a beneficial program. I look forward to my next 4 years in college and am hopeful for what the future has to come.”

Emerging Leaders Program

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) offers a series of services for Latino and other immigrant students in grades 5–12 to develop the educational and professional skills that will lead to college enrollment and professional success. This year, ELP served a total of 481 students across its three programs: ELP Robotics Club, ELP I, and ELP II.

Robotics ClubELP Robotics Club is offered year-round to students in grades 6–8 at six middle schools and one community center in Arlington and Fairfax Counties. Participants meet weekly during the fall semester to work through the basic robotics curriculum, with second-year students learning computer programming and coding. In the spring, students work on developing more advanced skills to prepare for our in-house competition at the end of the school year.

After the first year in the program, students can choose to return for a second year to participate in local and regional robotics competitions and work on developing more advanced skills. The curricula used by this program have been vetted by the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy and are aligned with Common Core standards.

During FY18–19 we also piloted a compressed version of the robotics club with elementary school students, which was offered during the summer.

A total of 127 students participated in ELP Robotics. Of those who completed the program:

71% improved their mathematical, technical, and scientific competencies through robotics technology and increased their confidence in STEM subject areas;

86% improved their abilities to collaborate with others through teamwork; and

91% developed strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Emerging Leaders Program II (ELP II)Rising high-school seniors who complete ELP I are eligible for ELP II, a year-long program supporting students during the college application process through weekly one-on-one coaching and mentoring services. Mentors provide students with feedback on college essays, ensure they meet submission requirements, and help them apply for scholarships and financial assistance. Students receive support with their college applications in the fall and financial aid and scholarship application support in the spring.

As part of this program, students are required to engage in their community in Northern Virginia and complete at least eight hours of community service to graduate from ELP II. As the final component of ELP II, Edu-Futuro offers monthly workshops focused on the students’ preparation for college life. This series of workshops intends to reduce the anxiety about the transition from high school to college, ensuring students know about the resources that are available to them in college, and providing practical skills that can be helpful for their personal and academic development.

Rozina Nigussie“ I grew up in Ethiopia in the city of Jimma. Living in Ethiopia, I encountered many obstacles such as losing the most important person in my life, my mother. My mother always emphasized the importance of education and going to college. I didn’t want to shatter her dream, therefore, I kept going forward to make her dreams come true. When I came here I was faced with different challenges including language barriers and technological advances so I decided to join ELP I. With the help of this program and through questioning and curiosity, I was able to conquer my fear and excel in this new environment. After finishing ELP I, I decided to apply for ELP II for college help. In the future, I want to be a physician because I want to help people who are suffering and dying because of curable diseases. Thanks to ELP II I am certain about what I want to do in the future. To become familiar with hospital life, I volunteer at a nearby hospital in the elder life program. I love that my small contribution helps improve patients’ lives. I strive to be a doctor one day so that I can help my community and those who are in need.”

Rozina was accepted at Virginia Commonwealth University and she received more than twenty-six thousand dollars in financial aid and scholarships.

Wilfredo Cañas and Miriam Díaz“ We are so thankful to Edu-Futuro for offering the program Padres Comprometidos at Hayfield Secondary in March 2019. We attended the seven weeks where we learned how to support our children and how to assist them in the path going to college. Thank you to Edu-Futuro for opening our eyes and be ready for the challenges that are yet to come. We are definitely better equipped to guide our children in the right way.”

Parent Empowerment Services

Parent Empowerment Services (PES) are offered in Arlington and Fairfax Counties to help parents address issues that may be hindering positive family functioning, financial stability, and adaptation to life in the United States. Edu-Futuro offers evidence-based curricula, workshops, and individualized services that empower immigrant parents to become more involved in their children’s lives and education, help improve financial security, and strengthen inter-family cohesiveness.

In 2018–19, PES served a total of 1,110 parents and youth. Some of the programs available include:

• PARTICIPA…en mi Educación: This curriculum teaches immigrant parents of elementary school-aged children how to navigate the school system in order to support and advocate more effectively for their children’s education.

Alcira Ascencio“ My daughter completed ELP I last October, where she learned various skills such as how to manage her money and save for college, how to prepare for a job interview, how to write her resume, and the importance of helping the community. We were also invited to a workshop where we learned about financial aid for college. Edu-Futuro was very kind and informative in how we can find scholarships and loans for her future education. This program motivated my daughter to have more dreams in her life and to know that she can pursue them with effort, dedication, and the desire to grow. I see more responsibility and willingness to overcome obstacles since she finished the program. Edu-Futuro also hired me as a childcare provider for the Parent Programs. I love to work with children and to teach them to help their parents at home with their chores, to respect them, to love them, and to learn to share toys with their friends, among other things. I enjoy talking with their parents and letting them know how their children behave while we take care of them.”

During FY18–19, Edu-Futuro began offering Padres Comprometidos for high school and middle school parents in Arlington and Fairfax Counties. Some 146 parents enrolled in the program, with 123 graduating. Of those who completed the program:

96% reported an increase in knowledge of the steps their children should take to be ready for college; and

97% reported an increased ability to model positive behaviors that promote learning at home.

PARTICIPA post-surveys show that of those who graduated from the program:

95% reported greater knowledge of the U.S. school system and the educational path from Kindergarten to College;

99% better understand their roles, rights, and responsibilities; and

99% feel better prepared to support and advocate for their children’s education.

Language Enrichment Programs

Edu-Futuro’s Language Enrichment Programs are fee-for-service programs supporting bilingual education. In 2018–19, Edu-Futuro provided 105 services to 73 students through its two enrichment programs: the Saturday Spanish School and Summer Spanish Academy.

Saturday Spanish SchoolEdu-Futuro’s language enrichment program—formerly known as Escuela Bolivia—is a well-established academic program focused on Spanish language acquisition and cultural enrichment. The Spanish School is offered to children (pre-K through 6th grade) and adults, ranging from beginners to native Spanish speakers.

The Saturday Spanish School offers three-hour classes on Saturday mornings in 13-week sessions during the fall and spring semesters. Students come from Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland. In 2018–19, the program served 37 students during the fall semester and 39 students during the spring semester.

Summer Spanish AcademyThis interactive immersion summer camp builds Spanish language skills for children ages four to 11. The camp is designed for children that learn Spanish at all levels, and is led by native Spanish-speaking teachers who work at the Saturday Spanish School during the school year.

Edu-Futuro offers two one-week sessions during the month of August. Students work in small groups and focus on language acquisition through arts and crafts, music, cultural activities, and games. This fiscal year, 19 students participated in the Spanish Academy the first week and 10 in the second week.
