Youth Technology Project

To remedy the lack of after-school resources in the San Fernando Valley, HMN established an after-school education enrichment program at its affordable housing complexes in North Hollywood. The innovative program mixes technology, outside-the-class learning, and tutoring resources to ensure children have the resources necessary to attain their educational goals. They assist upwards of 40 children weekly from both within and outside the affordable complex. The program has seen individuals succeed in school by improving their statewide test scores, improving performance on homework, and broadening their educational opportunities. 

In addition to addressing academic needs, the Colonia Corona Youth Technology Program values outside-the-classroom learning. Including field trips to various educational resources and promoting volunteering in the community. In 2023, students from the Colonia Corona Youth Technology Program visited The Getty Villa, the beach, and the Los Angeles Zoo. There is also an Arts and Crafts class where children can learn to make different crafts using recycled materials. This helps children improve their cognitive skills and learn how to work together to help each other complete their crafts. The program is continuously expanding, tutors are emphasizing a mix of skills that ultimately align with the goals of furthering student education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as Business education.
