Centro Campesino’s commitment to building strong communities starts with our children. In 1992, after Hurricane Andrew our agency helped support children in Florida City/Homestead who with their parents had become homeless. Centro Campesino believes that no investment is more important than one which helps children succeed in school, it offers free, tutorial-based after school and summer camp to 150+ unduplicated children ages 5 – 15 from PK-8th grade each year. 
Centro Campesino is funded in part by the The Children’s Trust . The Children’s Trust is a dedicated source of revenue established by voter referendum to improve the lives of children and families in Miami-Dade County. Additional funders include United Way Miami, Ocean Reef Community Foundation and Volunteer Florida, which funds 20 half-time AmeriCorps members to mentor our children, Centro Campesino supports children who attend schools in our area.
For our Parents: Centro Campesino offers monthly Parent Support Workshops on a variety of topics that are targeted to
helping families as well as their children.
Centro Campesino strengthens the economic fiber of our community by providing year-round after school and summer camp.
