Together for a Better Education (Juntos para una mejor educación) Program

The “Juntos” program (pronounced: Who-n-tos) provides Latino  parents and youth with knowledge and resources to prevent 8-12th grade students from dropping out and to encourage families to work together to gain access to college.   This experiential program is taught in either English or Spanish and meets for 2½ hours once a week for six weeks in the evenings.  Juntos also uses success coaches and college age-mentors to provide weekly afterschool clubs and activities with the target students before and after the 6-week program. The program brings together partners from Cooperative Extension, high schools and local community colleges, youth and their families, and college-age mentors to learn how to succeed in school.

In this 1953 short film, a young lady named Molly prepares for and experiences menarche. This film shows how times have changed -and also how some things will never change. Throughout time, the onset of menstruation is a girl's biological rite of passage. Good education helps to ensure that the experience is positive and not scary.
