Youth programs
The Center for Structural Equity offers an empowering and inclusive youth program that fosters growth, cultivates social justice values, and builds a foundation for a more equitable society.
After School Program
At the Center for Structural Equity, we are proud to offer a nurturing environment for educational enrichment, positive youth development, and community engagement. Our program is designed to go beyond traditional academics, providing an array of stimulating activities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and growth. From tutoring sessions to evidence-based curriculums, our program strives to cultivate a love for learning in every child. Moreover, we believe in the power of community and actively encourage our students to participate in various outreach activities, fostering a sense of social responsibility and empathy. Through our after school program, we envision a brighter future where every young individual thrives academically, socially, and personally.
Summer Program
During the summer months, children face an increased risk of losing out on valuable educational enrichment opportunities. Recognizing this challenge, our organization is committed to providing comprehensive programs throughout the summer, ensuring that students sty engaged in positive activities while simultaneously mitigating potential risks. By offering these programs, we aim to create an environment where children can embrace their childhood, free from harm, and continue to learn and grow.
We understand that summer break can be a period where children may be exposed to harmful situations or engage in activities that hinder their personal development. Our summer programs aim to bridge the gap between the academic year and ensure students’ continuity of educational and personal development. By providing opportunities for engagement, protection from harm, and the chance to enjoy being a kid, we empower children to make the most of their summer break.
Learning Pod Program
Our Learning Pod Program provides a safe, supportive, and structured environment for students who are enrolled in online or virtual schooling. Recognizing the challenges many families face with remote education—such as limited supervision, lack of academic support, and social isolation—CFSE created this program to ensure that students stay engaged, on track, and connected.
Each day, students report to our office, which has been transformed into a school-like setting with dedicated workspaces, structured schedules, and adult supervision. Staff and volunteers are present to help with technology, offer academic support, and maintain a calm and focused atmosphere. Students follow their individual online curricula while benefiting from the routine, accountability, and peer interaction that traditional school environments offer.
The Learning Pod Program bridges the gap between home-based learning and in-person instruction, creating a space where students can thrive academically and socially. In doing so, CFSE helps families meet educational goals while promoting equity and access to quality learning experiences for all.

Outreach
A Community-led approach to equity.
At the Center for Structural Equity, our mission is to empower communities through targeted outreach efforts. We strive to not only meet the immediate needs of our community members, but also to equip them with the tools and resources necessary to thrive.
Making a difference
One key aspect of our approach is providing pertinent education and resources. Through a range of workshops, training sessions, and access to relevant information, we aim to equip community members with the knowledge and skills required to overcome barriers and seize opportunities.
beyond the basics
In addition to education, we believe in the power of integration and inclusivity. We understand that community well-being is not only about meeting basic needs, but also about fostering social connections and a sense of belonging.
SOCIAL activities
We organize recreational events that bring people together, providing opportunities for interaction, networking, and mutual support. By nurturing a strong community fabric, we help individuals build meaningful relationships, find support systems, and ultimately thrive.
