I've visited the Cesar Chavez Foundation in Keene twice and would love to go again. A real learning experience. A great man.
The Cesar Chavez Foundation is making incredible impact for youth, adolescents, and adults across the Southwest. Due to the fact that they place the Si, Se Puede! Learning Centers within the affordable housing communities which they own, the impact is personal, direct, and immediate. This organization is fueled by the history and passion of the original Si, Se Puede! Movement, but I am excited to see where this organization will go in the next 10 years....some big impact to come.
I volunteered at Gilroy's Si Se Puede Learning Center. I have done many hours helping out with activities, cleaning, decorating, and much more. Not only have I given to the Center, but the staff at the center have also helped me much with forms I have needed for school. This is a great place for children to learn and participate with others. I think and have seen that Si Se Puede Learning Center helps children in their studies and helps the volunteers to mature.
I volunteered at the Si Se Puede Learning Center at Aguila Oaks in San Antonio, TX as a Resident Activity Leader. Although working with children K-5th has never been my forte, I found that the children of the Aguila Oaks community are amazing individuals with great potential to succeed. Aside from the experience that I gained working with non-profits in community development, I also met some amazing people. The staff and volunteers at Si Se Puede have an unyielding energy and enthusiasm for education and community outreach. I am fortunate to have been a part of the great team that is Si Se Puede!
I've been working at the Cesar Chavez Foundation in Keene, CA for about a month now and the passion and dedication each person has for this foundation is remarkable. I work as an intern/assistant for Cristina Graham and some of the tasks I get asked to do are very important and I feel honored that I can help out with the summer programs even if it's just a little thing I feel really accomplished. The time and effort I see on a daily basis to make sure that our summer programs run smoothly and are running properly is incredible. It's so inspirational working here especially for the education department because I can see that we are really trying to give resources to the kids that are in need. Cesar Chavez Foundation is amazing and I love working here.
I have been to the Cesar Chavez Foundation in Keene, CA what a beautiful place to visit. I also have been to a couple different Learning Centers. I follow the Centers on Facebook and enjoy looking at all the activities they do at the Centers with the students. I also work for an after school program and I enjoy seeing the different ways they teach students to give them the extra support they may need. Keep up the great work Cesar Chavez Foundation.
