Educational Programs
Youth, Family and Community Development
Helping Other People Excel CDC Housing Foundation partners with schools, school districts, government agencies, not-for-profits, and institutions of higher education to develop and implement educational programs, workshops, classes, and college courses for the students and families they serve.
These programs are based on Helping Other People Excel’s unique models for:
- Career Explorations – The CareerVisions Model
- Community Organizing – The Community Change Model
- Cultural Awareness – The Legacy Model
- Relationship Building – The Peace Model
The themes and exercises for each model are designed around students’ interests and academic needs. This allows for the integration of art, dance, drama, games, and sports with such academic content as literacy, science, and math to provide a relevant and engaging educational experience for students.
Students are also engaged in research and restorative practice circles to support and facilitate their particular exploration.
