 SISCO: Stay In School for College and Career Opportunities
The Stay in School for College and Career Opportunities (SISCO) Program has two main components:
 
SISCO I focuses on middle school students and SISCO II concentrates on high school students. Both aim to reduce the drop-out rate among Hispanic students through tutoring, enrichment and motivation.
   
 Esperanza's Latina Leadership Alliance (ELLA)
 Esperanza's Latino Leaders for an Outstanding Society (ELLOS)
Our newest gender-specific programs for teens brings groups of young men and women together with Hispanic leaders to encourage personal and professional development.

Each group allows students to discuss issus relevant to them while considering solutions to community and family challenges.

Prime Time for Reading

Prime Time for Reading is an in-school and after-school program for first- through fifth-grade students and their parents. Using a literacy-based curriculum developed by Cleveland Reads, limited-English-speaking Hispanic students improve their reading ability, academic skills, and love of reading.

 Community Computer Resource and Technology Center

The Computer Center enhances the academic and computer skills of young people attending school and improves computer literacy for adults for their personal enjoyment and job readiness.

The Center provides a free-access location and free classes year-round for youth and adults.
   
 YLP: Youth Leadership Program  
Our mission is to provide the students with leadership opportunities through community service, academic support, and life and employment skills via our after school program.
   
 Mentorship Program

A mentor provides instructional support, promotes greater involvement in school activities, encourages responsible behavior, fosters a positive self-image, helps protégés develop post-high school plans & expands awareness of career possibilities & the realities of the world-of work.
