CPC at High School for Dual Language and Asian Studies

The CPC LEAD (Learn. Excel. Advocate. Dream) after-school program has a decade-long partnership with the High School for Dual Language and Asian Studies. Each year, about 150 youth receive academic support and guidance, cultural and recreational programs, and other services.

CPC LEAD’s goal is to help students build a strong social, emotional, and academic foundation to see them through their high school careers and beyond.

Students can explore their interests by joining one of fifteen club activities. Additional guided workshops strengthen their skills related to: social-emotional development, college access, and career exploration. Students also receive supportive 1-on-1 counseling to help manage personal stressors and develop long-term goals.
