BCCA is proud to lead the way in the empowerment of women, specifically the mothers of our children of the backstretch. BCCA’s Women’s Literacy Program is generously funded by the New York Women’s Foundation and this year BCCA launched a virtual learning program to address the issues of internet and education inequality. We worked hard to provide our mothers with the toolkits necessary to engage in virtual learning and we were proud to offer them iPads to allow for the continuation of English classes via Zoom in addition to encouraging the bonds between mother and child through both education and ESL opportunities.
