LaAmistad After School volunteers

LaAmistad After School program

LaAmistad is an Atlanta-based 501(c)(3) organization serving first-generation Latino families, as well as adults of other ethnic minorities, by improving their opportunities for academic, physical, personal and professional success. Services are offered by volunteers in facilities provided by partner organizations and we need your help. Many first generation parents are unable to provide their children adequate help with their schoolwork due to language and education barriers. LaAmistad After School is a multi-dimensional afterschool program which places a heavy focus on tutoring the students to improve academic success and also on providing mentoring so each student has a role model to look up to. The program helps to ensure the students complete homework, projects, and are prepared for exams with the goal of 90% of them graduating from college. Please help us to make a difference in a child’s life and visit: www.laamistadinc.org
