LaAmistad believes that every person in America should receive a quality education and have the opportunity to pursue their goals, irrespective of their language of origin or socioeconomic status. LaAmistad's mission is to support Latino and first generation students and their families through tutoring, mentoring and programming that promotes academic, physical and personal growth. To accomplish this, LaAmistad has created an award-winning after school program, LaAmistad After School. The program places a heavy focus on tutoring the students to improve academic success and also on providing mentoring. LaAmistad After School In the 2012-2013 school year, 100% of LaAmistad After School students met or exceeded the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) in Reading, and 93% in Math.
LaAmistad also serves as a parent resource center for employment, health, counseling, legal and financial services, and scholarships and administers the largest community-based adult English as a Second Language program in Georgia. LaAmistad has had an incredibly successful experience launching and operating the program at its initial sites over the past 10 years.
