Adult Education & Support Services
Our holistic approach to social services ensures that as many basic needs are met as possible at the Americana Community Center. |
Family Education Programs
The Americana Family Education Program emphasizes five key components: interactive literacy activities between parents and children, empowering parents with tools for active participation in their children's education, literacy training for parents to achieve economic self-sufficiency, age-appropriate education to prepare children for school success, and family coaching to help parents set and achieve individualized goals. Americana's Family Education is offered Monday-Thursday during the school year in both the morning and evening to provide options for parents who work full-time and who have preschool-aged children. The Family Education Program is geared towards kindergarten readiness for the 0-5 age groups. |
Youth Programs
Americana's offers an after school program during the school year, and a summer program during the months of June and July. Both programs provide child care, academic and recreational enrichment, and meal times. |
Americana Fiberworks
The Fiberworks program supports women in the development of entrepreneurial and leadership skills. Participants determine their own projects, choose events and dates to sell the products with the support of the Fiberworks coordinator, and work as a group to meet their goals. These leadership opportunities provide a sense of confidence, community, success, and dignity to participants, as well as practical business skills and supplementary income from sales. Participants receive compensation for their work, and can begin to develop their talents to form economic security for their families and break the cycle of poverty. |
Community Garden
Our garden provides essential food access and security for immigrants, refugees, and underserved families in our community. It offers fresh, culturally appropriate produce that may be costly or unavailable at grocery stores. Many gardeners, with family farming backgrounds, share agricultural knowledge with their children, fostering a sense of belonging. These communal spaces promote food security and intergenerational knowledge exchange, supporting stability in a community facing persistent poverty. |
