Yes We Can Mobile Schools Program
About the program
The Yes We Can Mobile Schools program is a full time accredited education program taught by accredited teachers that provides access to quality education for children in need. This program was uniquely created and designed to address the educational setbacks and the emotional trauma children face in moments of crisis. To date the program has provided over 2,000,000 hours of individualized education and enrolled over 3,100 children.
The Yes We Can Mobile Schools program works with children from countries with high migration outputs such as Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Haiti, Venezuela and others experiencing high levels of forced migration. The programs enroll children ages 3 to 15 providing enrollment for preschool, elementary, and middle school grades. The Yes We Can Mobile Schools program operates full time and provides 25 hours of education a week to every student. The programs operate Monday through Friday everyday of the year except official holidays.
Curriculum
Specialized curriculum classes are taught including the proprietary Migrant Process class, English Language Learning, Emotional Intelligence and the YWC Global Leaders Program. This specialized curriculum helps address the specific emotional and academic setbacks refugee and migrant children may face while empowering them with the tools and mental health support to overcome any obstacles and thrive.
Enrollment
Children are immediately enrolled into one of the programs when they arrive at one of the partner shelters. Every child that enters the program is equipped with a new backpack filled with new school supplies, two uniforms and a new pair of shoes; all of this at no cost to the families and made possible by the support of donors.
Yes We Can Mobile School Bus Classrooms
Yes We Can converts coach buses into magical learning classrooms filled with dynamic school supplies, an engaging curriculum, and technology tools to make learning an unforgettable experience for the children in our programs. These are the Yes We Can Mobile School Buses. The buses are built to travel long distances and to reach those in need helping to provide quality education at no cost. This eliminates the obstacles that children and families face when they are unable to access a nearby school due to distance or transportation costs.
