The Center has served approximately 300 families since start-up. The project serves approximately 45 families whose home-base is Eagle Pass, Texas. The project serves 120 migrant families with children in the age range of birth through four year olds. In addition, groups focus on addressing parenting issues, building healthy relationships, and promoting peer support. The groups serve as the core for comprehensive integrated family services.
Families receive PCs and Playstation units to support literacy skill-building.
The project serves 99 families. An empowerment approach rather than a deficit model ensures that parents play an active role in designing their own plan for family services through their individualized family plan. Parents are exposed to a series of workshops designed to improve children's education by strengthening ties between families and schools. The program serves 40 families. Even Start project was formed through a partnership between El Paso Community College Literacy Center and the Sin Fronteras Organizing Project.
