The Santa Ana
Partnership's Padres Promotores de la Educación
is a program for parents, by parents - a truly grassroots effort
with a fundamental mission:
Deliver information
about school services and higher education in the name of hope and
progress for the children of our community.
This is done primarily
through non-traditional methods including home visitation and
educational dialogues. Since 2002 the Promotores have
conducted over 3,500 home visits and trained over 150 parents.
One of the many
projects this group has been dedicated to is the development of the
Padre a Padre curriculum, an 8-lesson handbook detailing the road to
higher education. Based on Santa Ana Unified graduation requirements
along with the University of California and California State
Universities admission guidelines, this curriculum sets the framework
for potential projects by other communities.
Padre a Padre is
available in both English and Spanish. To view the English version
