For the past two summers (2014 and 2015), ECS has hosted the Youth in Action Summer Camp. Sponsored by the City of San Jose, this program offered students a 2 month summer camp free of charge.

 

Activities included math and science workshops, beach and pool trips, sports activities, college tours, and community outreach. Participants also went on field trips to: Monterey Bay Aquarium, Google, Intel, SF Exploratorium, etc. Enrollment was open to City of San Jose residents with demonstrated financial need who reside in at-risk neighborhoods in San Jose.

 

Thank you to the 2015 program hosts:

• Elemenatry/Middle School Program: Habesha Learning Center

• High School Program Mentors: Tigist Keneni, Fikir Alemayhu, Kevin Desta, and Rebeka Dawit.
