Community Impact
Mentorship
In addition to weekly tutoring, our students learn how to interact with their peers and tutors, developing their social skills and awareness. We strive to be a positive role model in all of our students’ lives.
Sports
We played football, basketball, kickball, and soccer with refugee kids where we continue to mentor and earn the trust of these kids. Our ongoing relationship with them is going strong and Nova Spero is helping these refugee kids assimilate thru sports and sportsmanship.
Backpack Drive
We recently held our 3rd annual backpack drive where every Nova Spero kid got a brand new backpack filled with school supplies to prepare them for the upcoming school year.
Annual Summer Swim
We provided Swim Sessions for our Nova Spero families. Swimming and water safety is a new idea to many refugee kids and teens. Many of these refugees have never been swimming let alone been to a swimming pool. They view swimming and water as dangerous. We taught these resettled refugees about water safety and introduced them to swimming.
Annual Christmas Toy Drive
Our team raised money every year to purchase Christmas and holiday toys for local under resourced youth in San Diego county.
