Parents Workshops
As part of SPACE, ENP provides parent workshops to ensure that parents are involved in their children’s education and that they are equipped with the basic skills and information to advocate for their children. Workshops include training, guidance and support about the Israeli school system and increases parents’ awareness of their rights and obligations within the educational system.
PROGRAMS
SPACE Scholastic Assistance
ENP’s SPACE (School Performance and Community Empowerment) is a holistic program that provides after-school supplementary hours in small groups to strengthen students’ academic achievements. Alongside the academic achievement components, the program addresses social needs and personal development; including self-esteem and leadership skills, while devoting attention to the social difficulties impinging on their progress in school. The program includes a lunchtime meal that for some is as critical as the scholastic assistance they are provided.
Empowerment Programs
A community is as strong as its leadership. The Ethiopian community can realize its immense potential if it is provided with the appropriate tools and support networks. ENP's Empowerment Programs train Ethiopian-Israeli activists and grassroots leaders, including: local steering committee members and activists, organization representatives, and national ENP leaders.The Program prepares community members to become leaders, and works to increase the involvement of Ethiopian-Israelis in their own processes of absorption -- helping to catalyze a change from within.
