We believe…
- We need to address all areas of a child’s growth simultaneously for long-term change
- Students want to learn
- Addressing issues outside of the academic realm can enhance academic performance
- Process is more important than products
- Concept development is experientially based
- Skills can be grasped more easily if experience provides the content
- Every community member is a teacher and a learner
- People learn when they’re having fun
NAFI CT currently operates two community-based programs that focus on vocational skill building and academic advocacy.
