What We Do

Education

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
~ Henry Ford

At La Posada Providencia, we do more than provide safe shelter; we help ensure our clients’ success. So, while their cases progress through the courts, we help them prepare for life in this country.

We offer:

• Language instruction. We provide English as a Second Language (ESL) lessons in group and one-on-one sessions, as well as with CDs, videos and other learning tools. Clients progress at their own pace.
• Life skills curriculum. This is a wide-ranging education, including, but not limited to, citizenship, computer literacy, financial basics, health and nutrition, childcare and employment readiness.
• Cultural integration. We provide assistance with shopping, travel and communications, translations, filling out paperwork and navigating through office and agency visits.
• Sustainable living skills. Clients at La Posada work in our productive, organic garden and learn about recycling and composting.
