Unlimited Potential::

 

Since 1985, the mission of Unlimited Potential has been to strengthen individuals and families in south
Phoenix through literacy, education and self-empowerment. Their participants are low-income, underserved population, predominantly Latino families who are struggling to master the English language. They offer English literacy and GED classes to adults and early childhood workshops to preschool children to prepare them for kindergarten and future academic success.

 

They have a unique, and proven, dual language approach to literacy that encourages participants to speak, read and write their native language as well as English. They also encourage parents to read to their children in both languages.
