Community Programs
BECA’s model is not your run-of-the-mill international teaching program. We distinguish ourselves by the breadth and depth of our community engagement. Local stakeholders maintain responsibility for the effective management of their schools. By building close-knit relationships with our in-country partners, we encourage capacity building and create avenues towards sustainability. We also allow for a democratic process to flourish in the local community; all parents have a voice in how their children are educated. BECA has four current programs that support our schools, teachers, students, and families:
BBP SCHOLARSHIP
The BECA Bachillerato Program is a merit-based scholarship program that empowers our most financially disadvantaged students to continue their education at nearby bilingual high schools.
CULTURE IN CONTEXT
Culture in Context educates our volunteers on the political, social, economic, and cultural realities in Honduras.
LIBROS Y FAMILIAS
Libros y Familias is a family-oriented literacy program that introduces our students' parents to techniques they can use in the home to encourage a love of reading.
SUMMER CAMP
BECA Summer Camp is a three-week program designed to prevent language and learning losses over the summer.
