The Compañía para el Desarrollo Integral de la Península de Cantera is proud to host a dedicated team of 12 AmeriCorps members who will serve the vibrant community of Cantera Peninsula in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This impactful initiative is designed to address critical needs across three key areas: Education Component: AmeriCorps members will engage with kinds, youth and families, local schools and educational programs to support student learning and development. By providing tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment activities, they aim to enhance educational outcomes and foster a positive learning environment for students. Healthy Futures Component: In this area, members will work to improve health and wellness within the community. This includes organizing health education workshops, facilitating access to healthcare services, and promoting healthy lifestyles through community outreach and support programs. Environmental Stewardship Component: AmeriCorps members will focus on environmental conservation and sustainability efforts. Their activities will involve community clean-up events, environmental education initiatives, and projects aimed at preserving and enhancing local natural resources.
