ICA designed the Middle School Initiative to address the issues students must confront in their school everyday. From overcrowded classrooms, to an evident lack of updated supplies, to a schools’ inability to provide a stimulating learning environment, to the constant inner struggle of assimilation and identity conflict—these are a few of the prevalent problems students in our community deal with. Our Middle School Initiative is centered on three central themes of academic achievement, career exploration and promoting a shared and proud identity. Students receive academic tutoring, cultural programming, volunteer opportunities. Our programs are free and open to the community. Applications for students are rolling, click here to apply.
