Seniors from 57 refugee countries attend morning classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, spending the morning learning English, talking with volunteers, receiving valuable health education, and interacting with each other. Seniors are also offered art classes and exercise classes such as Tai Chi and stretching.Adult Education, Arts, Health, and Community Services:adult English language programs, including the Hello English program serving refugee women; the Care & Connection program, in partnership with Georgia State University's School of Public Health, which reduces social isolation and improves mental well-being through culturally relevant group activities such as crochet, henna art, and gardening; arts and culture programming, including classes, exhibitions, cultural celebrations, and a community podcast; technology access, providing computer access, digital literacy training, and internet access in partnership with the DeKalb County Public Library System; parent advocate training; and community health and wellness workshops and resource fairs.Expenses $201,100 · revenue $3,400

The Summer STEAM Plus Camp teaches science, technology, engineering, art, writing, and math in a seven-week program engaging over 50 students ages 5 to 18, most from families at the poverty level and many recent refugees.
