Making a difference in the lives of students—since 1997
Vecinos Unidos is a volunteer-driven organization committed to helping students overcome academic achievement gaps.
Our volunteers provide free academic assistance and enrichment to elementary students who come from non-English speaking homes. With our caring volunteers to guide them, students experience improved academic success and greater confidence in their ability to learn and achieve.
We help children succeed in school and grow into successful adults by providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing learning environment where children can seek assistance with homework and projects, expand their academic skills, and develop into lifelong learners.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help children have the confidence and skills to succeed in school and beyond. We provide:
Individualized educational activities
We regularly assess students’ abilities and provide them structured activities in math and language arts to fit their needs.
A safe, nurturing environment
We help students build their skills and confidence, encouraging them to challenge themselves and to ask for support when they need it.
Additional resources
We provide students with additional support to overcome aditional challenges they may face outside academics.
