A.C.E. ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW1/6
Access to Opportunity (A2O) Overview
The Access to Opportunity program based at Aki Kurose
Middle School in the Rainier Valley, funded with a generous grant
from the Discuren Foundation from 2002-2004, is
demonstrating the value of a holistic and integrated
approach to serving middle school children and their
parents in immigrant communities. The Access to
Opportunity program under development in Native American
communities, will utilize culturally-based content in a
DVD format to assist parents with their children’s
literacy skill development. Programs serving adults with
computer and language literacy as well as English for
academic purposes have been conducted in Mt. Vernon and
Seattle. The newest educational outreach for parents of
immigrant children is being developed in partnership with
McKinley Elementary School in Tacoma with support from
the Harold R. and Jessie B. Flowers Endowment Fund of the
Greater Tacoma Community Foundation.
