First Literacy Grant Funded Project
Partner Program: Friends of the Rafael Hernández School
Project Description: The Primeras Maestras Program at the Rafael Hernández Dual Language School in Roxbury, Massachusetts trains low income, unemployed, or under-employed immigrant parents as bilingual educators, leveraging their native Spanish language fluency as an asset for student learning. As parents participate in the program, they take English as a Second Language (ESOL) classes and financial literacy classes to strengthen their employability and establish their financial independence. This program will develop an English as a Second Language curriculum to specifically address the language skills participants need in educational settings.
