Learning at New Columbia
PCC offers
classes for
young Latinos
Portland Community College
plans to give young Latinos a better
chance to achieve their educational
goals through specialized classes
at the New Columbia housing de
velopment in north Portland.
Latino students between the ages
of 16 to 20 who are English language
learners will have a chance to im
prove their English proficiency while
working towards other educational
and career goals.
Students will study math, social
studies and science in Spanish and
can earn their GED in Spanish. At
the same time, they will study En
glish to improve their proficiency in
the language.
The Multicultural Academic Pro
gram, which is operated through the
PCC Prep Alternative Programs, is a
partnership with local school dis
tricts, making it free to eligible stu
dents.
Classes start spring term on
Monday, March 28. The New Co
lumbia classes will not only prepare
the youths for college, but will give
eligible students a 12-credit tuition
waiver to start college at PCC.
PCC first piloted this model at the
Willow Creek Center in W ashing
ton County.
“This model works because it
really serves the need that students
have to complete a high school cre-
' / ■ '/
dential in their first language while
building their English skills,” said
Jeff Laff, manager of the program.
“We want to extend these same
opportunities to Latino youth liv
ing in North Portland.”
To learn more about how to en
roll, contact Jana Daugherty with
PCC Prep at971-722-6213.
