Millennium Fellowship Project: Talento de Barrio
Talento de Barrio is an educational project with high social impact, and the objective is to bring educational opportunities and personal growth to young people from public secondary schools who live in vulnerable areas. We help students in middle school offering them academic reinforcement in areas such as Math, Spanish, Science, and English. Additionally the students have the opportunity to choose two workshops like dance, art, science, and sports. We work to provide educational and personal growth opportunities to young students, and ensure inclusive, equitable, and quality education as well as promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
