Central Falls Learning Pods program matches lived experiences
Thank you to The Valley Breeze and Deputy Editor LuzJennifer Martinez for their recent article on the Central Falls learning pods initiative!
Students in the Central Falls school system who are struggling academically or in need of extra support can participate in The Learning Pods program. The program, which began two years ago in partnership with Freedom Dreams and the Highlander Institute, was a response to the pandemic and it strives to help marginalized students from a variety of life circumstances (homeless, newcomers, off-track and multilingual learners) through one-on-one mentorship with individuals with similar lived experiences.
Each pod consists of up to five students and is led by a community educator, or “pod leader,” who is from the community or connected to Central Falls. The program also prepares students to become future educators, serving as a homegrown community educator pipeline, said Lesdin Salazar, director of equity implementation for the Central Falls school district.
The program was recently awarded $300,000 by the Rhode Island Foundation, which Salazar says will be used to cover certain program expenses.

Free Life Skills Boot Camp for Students
This summer, Sponsors of the Future is kicking off its first in-person Life Skill Lesson Series with real businesses from the local East Greenwich community to maximize FAST learning, while having fun!
This one-day boot camp will consist of learning about critical skills with local sponsors like banks (Newport Bank), gyms (Healthtrax), and grocery stores (Dave’s) with locally grown products to teach kids about the importance of self-control and the decision-making process when dealing with health, food, and money. It is specially curated for all kids between the ages of 10 – 16 years to learn first-hand from local professional trainers, bankers, dietitians, and more! This is a great opportunity for kids to gain real-life experience from local businesses. Spots are limited to 15 kids and a handful of openings are left!
