The Chestnut Family Foundation is proud to announce its $241,500 donation to LaAmistad. Recognizing Atlanta’s gap for accessible transportation, the gift will help the organization cover the cost of an additional bus to take LaAmistad’s children to its after-school programs. With 12 locations for after school programming, this donation will also support the provision of one-on-one academic tutoring for all Latino students, and ensure the continuation of its programs at Embry Hills United Methodist Church. CFF is proud to support LaAmistad and the work that they do for our Latino community in Atlanta.
LaAmistad is an out-of-school learning program designed to help Latino students achieve proficiency in the most crucial subjects in school to ensure they have the skills they need to achieve their high school diplomas. LaAmistad Afterschool is a holistic learning program: while students are improving their academic proficiency and completing their schoolwork, their parents participate in workshops which help them learn to navigate the public school system to access educational support for their children, develop financial literacy, and find resources in their community that make a transformative impact in their lives. Currently, LaAmistad Afterschool operates at 12 locations throughout Atlanta.
