Global AWARE! & Great Cultural Excursions - A summer month program designed to make children and teens more active in their local and global community-writing letters to the President & Congress on issues that concerns the group as a whole. Current issues discussed and acted upon are the Darfur region of Sudan, homelessness in Santa Monica, and the global warming problem.
MLK DAY!
Children also attend monthly outings to art and photo exhibitions, plays, Los Angeles Cultural landmarks, and relevant documentaries. The CLF feels that these excursions are crucial to the child’s cultural development. Plus- they're really fun!
Here's Why We Conduct this Great Project:
To Prepare the Children in our
Adopt-A-Family Program for College!
Here's How We
Do It:
One-On-One Tutoring: Tutors from nearby UCLA, SMC & Pepperdine Universities and SMC help the children with personal tutoring, Classroom Project Preparation, and homework aid. Our tutors work extensively with the children, alerting our staff to any problems or challenges the child may be having, and provide an excellent source of support in the child's life.
GREAT Incentives Program
Students are rewarded weekly for increases in grades, and As and Bs on tests, homework and projects. Annually, children who receive straight As are allowed to bring their parents on a special, five-day vacation opportunity at a four-star resort, and other incentives include gift cards and toys.
Monthly Family Nights: Students and their parents get together monthly, where pizza is served, stories shared, and Staff catches up on family progress.
