SAYPA’s Tutoring is helping elementary and middle school children in the core subjects of reading, math, science, spelling, social studies, and language arts.
Usually, Immigrant people in the united states are from one history into another, and the newly arrived immigrant is in the heart of the storm of cultural shock, being here in the US immigrants feel new opportunities and new dangers are born. The Somalis today constitute a complex transnational set of communities fanning out from Somalia and spanning the globe from Australia to Western Europe and North America. The Somali diaspora consists of individuals (and groups) who arrived and were received in a wide range of host societies at different times and in different ways, bringing with them the social, cultural, and political divisions of back home.
SAYPA’s goal is to help immigrants parents who are poor and are visible minorities understand the greatest risk of its members is to see their children do worse than they did. The terms used are “downward mobility,” “second-generation decline,” and “segmented assimilation.” are in the greatest danger of this. The children of these immigrant groups are often discriminated against and attend substandard schools. This results in what scholars have called an oppositional identity or adversarial consciousness. This is a set of attitudes that may at some level be rational but is nevertheless deemed “maladaptive,”
SAYPA is here to showing these immigrants how they can help each other like many great immigrant generations in the USA.
