At PiusOnes, we are thrilled to announce the launch of an inspiring new community outreach initiative in Mérida, Mexico, aimed at breaking down barriers to education and empowering local youth. Our new after-school program is designed to provide free English language education to children and adolescents in Mérida, where the opportunities for learning English are often limited by economic constraints.
Why English?
In today’s globalized world, proficiency in English opens up vast new horizons for personal and professional growth. It is the key to accessing better educational and career opportunities and broadens the cultural understanding essential in today’s interconnected world. However, in Mérida, like many places around the globe, the high costs associated with language learning place this invaluable skill out of reach for most families, especially those with limited income.
Our Program
PiusOnes’ after-school English program is more than just language teaching; it’s a gateway to opportunities. Hosted in local community centers, our program is tailored to engage students in a supportive and interactive environment that not only teaches them English but also instills a love for learning and cross-cultural appreciation.
How We Do It
At PiusOnes, our approach to education goes beyond traditional methods. Funded entirely by donations, our after-school English program in Mérida offers a dynamic and immersive learning environment free of charge to participants. Our curriculum, crafted by expert educators, is brought to life by passionate, certified English teachers who employ creative and engaging teaching strategies tailored to the needs of our students.
