Pueblo Nuevo Education & Development Group

Our Avance Teacher Residency program disrupts systems of inequity in access to teacher preparation programs. We innovate, transform, and provide access and advancement to economic justice for educators, prioritizing teacher diversity and those from historically marginalized communities. Our goal is to improve the economic standing of school staff members by providing them with a pathway to becoming a credentialed teacher while earning a living wage and becoming embedded as a teacher leader in the school communities they support.

Despite a thriving tech field in Los Angeles, low-income students of color face barriers to entering STEM career pathways due to limited learning opportunities. By using culturally relevant project-based learning that fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and resilience, we will cultivate the next generation of STEM leaders. Our project formalizes a STEM pipeline from elementary through high school to expose our students early and often to hands-on learning opportunities and develop core technology, math, and science competencies.

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy will expand upon Camino to College, our existing college access and alumni support program. The focus of the program is getting more students to and through college.
