CREA elevates Nicaraguans and their communities through literacy and learning.
CREA recognizes that access to quality education is the catalyst to affect positive change for individuals and communities. Our programming plays a vital role in enhancing literacy and learning development in rural Nicaragua.
We provide integrative literacy and learning programs in order to create critical support and more effective long-term educational services for children and youth ages 4-24 years. This is reflected in our strategies and interventions through three primary initiatives: Library Services, Academic Success, and Youth Development.
Academic Success: provides children and youth with critical, supplemental learning support to finish primary and secondary school.
Library Services: provides young learners and their families access to books and programming designed to teach discrete literacy skills, promote reading proficiency, and inspire critical thinking.
Youth Development: supports the academic, social, and emotional growth of adolescents as they strive to reach their goals and create positive change in their communities.
CREA transforms lives with our literacy and learning programs. Watch “Natalia’s Story” and see CREA’s impact on the lives of young people.
