Education is
empowering. It strengthens individuals, families and communities.
Help Inc. Foundation believes that working to
improve education is one of the best investments we can make in the
effort to overcome individual challenges. However, access to primary
education remains unattainable for 115 million children. Even in the
many countries where access to education has improved, teachers
struggle to meet increased demand and maintain the quality of
instruction.  UNESCO
estimates at least 15 million more teachers are needed to enable all
children receive a quality primary education. Help Inc. Foundation seeks to ensure access to education, even in the most difficult circumstances and for the most vulnerable groups, such as homeless children and people living with HIV/AIDS. Because education has such a profound impact on both a child's and a society's future, Help Inc. Foundation has made it a priority for the entire organization. Help Inc. Foundation is working with partners at the local and national level in 10 countries to improve the quality and accessibility of basic education — helping individuals and communities reach their full potential. At the community level, Help Inc. Foundation works to:
Youthbuild Program In the YouthBuild program, low-income young people ages 16–24 work toward their GED or high school diploma while learning job skills by building affordable housing for homeless and low-income people. Strong emphasis is placed on leadership development and community service. Computertots/Computer Explorers Program The COMPUTERTOTS program is an early childhood education program for children age’s three to five. The core purpose is to help build academic readiness skills in language arts, math, science, art and music using technology. We also introduce children to problem-solving and computer operations through educator-designed lesson plans and hands-on activities. The COMPUTER EXPLORERS program provides educational technology solutions for students age six and older. Through the program, more than 5,000 tech-savvy youth participants learn to use computers, the Internet, and emerging technologies effectively. The participants then carry out a wide array of educational and community service projects to share their technology knowledge and skills with others to improve their communities. CyberSeniors Program The CyberSeniors Program is a web based training program that provides technology training to more than 15,000 seniors in 14 states. The initiative establishes intergenerational leadership teams that provide information technology learning opportunities in local communities to empower millions of seniors and U.S. veterans across the nation. SAT & ACT Preparatory Program The SAT & ACT Preparatory Program takes the mystery out of the ACT! The program is designed to prepare students ages 16 and up for the SAT & ACT Reasoning Test required for undergraduate admission by many U.S. universities. Eighteen hours of instruction and testing provided over seven sessions will include a diagnostic test to assess pre-course performance levels and coaching on the writing section. This program helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses, become familiar with and practice all question types found on the SAT & ACT, and develop strategies to increase mathematical, reading, English and science reasoning skills. Also included are general test taking strategies to increase “test wiseness”, suggested remedies for test anxiety, and a full-scale proctored practice test. Youth Financial Literacy Program: Preparing Youth for Financial Responsibility The Youth Financial Literacy educates youth and young adults on the value of budgeting, the importance of saving, bank accounts and services, establishing and maintaining good credit, planning for college, buying a car, basic investing, and more. The curriculum is engaging and fun for school-age students and meets or exceeds national and state education standards for economics, financial literacy, mathematics and English language arts. Teachers find it easy to integrate the age-specific lessons into their classrooms to help students to address real-life financial situations. Youth Entrepreneurs Program (YEP) The Young Entrepreneurs Program was created on the belief that teens from all walks of life have innate talents, waiting to be discovered. YEP helps low-income teens realize their economic potential and take steps toward financial independence by owning and running viable businesses. YEP opens doors to higher education and meaningful employment, enabling teens to envision and create a brighter future for themselves, their families, and their communities. YEP's expanded scope includes creating, particularly those serving teens in the most disadvantaged urban communities. HIV Prevention Education Program The HIV Prevention Education Program delivers tailored HIV prevention curriculums that effect change in risk-taking behaviors among youth and initiate positive change in the attitudes of youth by humanizing the epidemic. The program aims to develop youth leadership opportunities in the delivery of HIV prevention education; and facilitate healthy decision-making among youth through informed, sustained dialogue on HIV/AIDS issues. The program particularly targets youth of color, young women, and GLBT youth in under-served urban and rural communities. |
