With the support of The Foundation Trust, this summer arising juniors and seniors from the Inspire Aspire Youth Program (IAYP) had the opportunity to attend SAT Prep Classes. IAYP mentors Portuguesespeaking teens and their parents to enroll and complete a post-secondary education, and ultimately improve their lives through education and achieve the American Dream. By providing a SAT course preparation to this cohort, the goal was to increase their knowledge of the test-taking strategies and overall confidence level. This goal was met as students reported having higher satisfaction with knowing more about how to proceed while taking the test, and 80 percent of them increased their level of confi dence about taking the SAT exam. Share Your Love Foundation Founder/President Debora Guimaraes said, “I am delighted that this fi rst formal support comes from such a well-known organization as Foundation Trust. With their assistance, our fi rst-generation Americans and inner-city teenagers had the chance to learn from high-qualifi ed teachers and be more prepared for the SAT test. It was a great experience and as a result I believe that our students will be more prepared for the College application process.” The Foundation Trust Manager of Outreach and Development Lauren Liecau said, “Share Your Love is positively shaping the lives of the students it reaches. The Foundation Trust is proud to support their new SAT prep program to give fi rst-generation Americans in Revere access to tools for academic, personal and professional development.” In the United States, only 22 percent of Latinos enroll in college, versus 39% of the white population. Furthermore, only two in 10 Latinos earn bachelor’s degrees, compared to 30% of blacks and 45 percent of whites. As the offi cial number of Portuguese-speaking children enrolled in college is unavailable, based on unoffi cial data it is estimated to be similar to the Spanish-speaking population. One of the reasons for the low college attendance rate is that immigrant families do not understand the higher education educational process and the paths to utilize support networks that exist. The importance of educating this population about the American educational system and the options available to them to thrive and succeed is crucial for their social development. Misinformation contributes to the notion that future generations have to follow their parents and do the same work activities, creating a vicious cycle where teens are stagnant and stymied from full emersion into American society – the opportunity to be part of the regular American job market and society.
