Introducing Saint Elizabeth's New Educational Ministry - Tusome Pamoja

Summer 2021
Tusome Pamoja is a special program spearheaded by Liz Wiznerowicz and Kenya Gray to serve our students in the Umoja community.  Students who had long interruptions in their formal education can received a personalized ESL curriculum from our Private Satellite School Program.  This summer, eight students will participate in our first TUSOME SUMMER program.  Four students will be able to become full-time students in the Fall!

We are grateful for Fr. Jim and Saint Elizabeth for providing  teaching space and seed money for our pilot program.  We are currently fundraising for our summer and fall programming.  We need volunteers and food donations, as well as, book and supply donations.  Please register to volunteer.  Pick one day or pick many!  We're so happy to have you!
