“It’s Not Just Housing, It’s Everything”: How Early Childhood Education Supports Families Facing Instability
We are active in the communities we serve to strengthen and uplift.
We create spaces that connect children, youth, and families to education and resources to lead and succeed, and are active to build trust and give voice to our diverse perspectives, so all can reach their full potential.
Real results for thriving children and youth
“Since day one, Para Los Niños has welcomed me with open arms and provided me with guidance and a support system to fall back on. They have become a staple in ensuring I strive academically and professionally. Guiding me to countless opportunities that allow me to financially support myself and my family. Their support eased my college application process and assured me that if I took all the necessary steps I could be the first in my family to attend a university. Now as a first-generation college student, and Para Los Niños employee, PLN has become family and I am so grateful.”
– Alma Canales, Resident Teacher at PLN Charter Elementary School, Youth Workforce Services Alumna
I love my job. Para Los Niños has allowed me to support families with translation, encourage them towards resources and solutions, and walk alongside them to remind them that they are not alone.”
