Sergio is a middle school social studies and math teacher who is pursuing a Master’s in Education. Outside of teaching and working diligently on his thesis, Sergio coaches his school’s chess team and facilitates dressmaking classes for students. Sergio believes vocational training and technological projects are beneficial to enhance student learning.

In Sergio’s community, many students believe migrating to the United States is an opportunity to improve the quality of life for their families leading to irregular migration. Sergio aims to work with ConnectED to create new educational opportunities for children and youth within his community so that they can improve their quality of life without migrating to the U.S.

 

“The Program will allow my community to work together to have access to more opportunities that contribute to a better quality of life.”
