October is a month to celebrate the CREA community\u2014and your support makes it all possible! Thanks to a small group of dedicated supporters, every gift this month will be tripled, up to $20,000, multiplying the impact of your generosity.<\/p>\n
Each week, we\u2019ll share a new video that takes you inside our classrooms and community spaces, introducing you to the teachers, students, and volunteers who bring CREA to life. From a welcome by our Executive Director to powerful student stories and a year-end spotlight, you\u2019ll see firsthand the difference your support makes.<\/p>\n
In 2025 alone, with the help of more than 34 volunteers, CREA enrolled 262 adult learners<\/strong> across 33 classes in 11 subjects<\/strong>, expanded legal workshops, and partnered with the Consulate General of Mexico in New York to provide on-site consular services like passports and IDs. We supported over <\/strong>70 families in securing dual citizenship for their children<\/strong> and distributed 360 emergency food bags and 2,000 hot meals<\/strong> to families in need.<\/p>\n This October, your matched gift helps us continue this vital work\u2014expanding classes, strengthening community resources, and empowering adult learners to thrive.<\/strong> Together, we\u2019re building opportunities and opening doors for more than 300 students and their families.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video_slider show_arrows=”off” play_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” font_icon=”I||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” thumbnail_overlay_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” admin_label=”Video Slider” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video_slider_item src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h3x_r4je7M8&list=PL5v9S_k8mr2dl1wWzJmKO4O2SnOMAX1Za” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” show_image_overlay=”off”][\/et_pb_video_slider_item][et_pb_video_slider_item src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o2uo51zl3YY” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” show_image_overlay=”off”][\/et_pb_video_slider_item][et_pb_video_slider_item src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/YinlSuiSRM4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” show_image_overlay=”off”][\/et_pb_video_slider_item][et_pb_video_slider_item src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=af6di42lOkM&list=PL5v9S_k8mr2dl1wWzJmKO4O2SnOMAX1Za” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” show_image_overlay=”off”][\/et_pb_video_slider_item][\/et_pb_video_slider][et_pb_cta title=”Your generosity helps us continue this vital work\u2014expanding classes, strengthening community resources, and empowering adult learners to thrive!” button_url=”https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=NBQ8DDH5TKVNQ&source=url&ssrt=1759329319413″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Donate Today” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#44607a” background_enable_image=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”2%||2%||false|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Progress Towards Our $20,000 Goal:October is a month to celebrate the CREA community\u2014and your support makes it all possible!
