LEAFing Out Into South Waco

June 23, 2005

The overall LEAF program has four goals to help residents in the South Waco area develop their full potential in the context of a thriving community and family:
 

  • Educational goals: that every adult will be proficient in reading, writing and speaking English and have at least a GED; that every child will be making progress at school;
  • Family and community goals: each family unit will be actively engaged in the community;
  • Employment goals: that all adults who want to work will be able to earn a living wage or enroll in postsecondary education; and
  • Health literacy goals: that every person will have fundamental knowledge of personal health and how the health care system works.
