Integrative literacy and learning programs

Brings books to young learners and their families. Programs are designed to teach fundamental literacy skills, promote reading proficiency, inspire critical thinking, and foster a joy of reading and lifelong learning.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Provides children and youth with critical, individualized educational support needed to successfully engage in their learning, complete school, and prepare for higher education.

youth development

Supports the academic, social, and emotional growth of adolescents as they strive to reach their goals while creating positive change in their communities.

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.

CREA’s integrated literacy and learning programs provide critical support for children and youth ages 0 – 24 years. This is reflected in our strategies and interventions through three primary programs: Library Services, Academic Success, and Youth Development.

CREA transforms lives with our educational programs.
