Creativity

Character

Collaboration

Community

At Rosa Parks’ Kids’ Village we value and strive to instill:

Creativity—In both finding creative and outside-the-box practices and solutions to the issues that affect the students that we work with AND instilling aspirations in each of our students.We are aware that the current Public School Education model is failing to provide for the needs of many of our students.As an After School Program, we are not limited by many of the strict national, state, and district guidelines that dictate much of the classroom time.It is our mission and responsibility to utilize this unique opportunity to find and design alternative ways to reach out to students whom the traditional model does not support.

Character—It is our mission and responsibility to promote and instill a wide range of virtues in our students which will help them develop into healthy well rounded adults.These virtues include but are not limited to independence, confidence, self awareness, a sense of social justice, and pride.

Collaboration— With both the school day and After School staff.It is our mission and responsibility to collaborate with the day time staff in order to provide a seamless school day experience for our students and to help ensure their academic and social success.

Community— It is our mission and responsibility to instill a sense of belonging and participation in the community of Rosa Parks, Kids’ Village, West Berkeley, and beyond.
