Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

LIPS (Liaison Interpreter Program of Somerville)

Promoting the educational aspirations of youth from immigrant families has had a special role in our organization since the early years. Today, half of the students in Somerville Public Schools are from families where English is not the first language spoken at home. The Youth Aspirations Program focuses on helping immigrant youth reach their full potential by providing academic enrichment, support for youth preparing to enter college or the work force, and hands-on civic engagement projects on community issues of concern to immigrant youth. We do this through weekly sessions, high school students learn about the college process and share their knowledge and skills with their peers and families.

Immigrants and migrants

English for Speakers of Other Languages

The Welcome Project offers accessible and friendly English classes. Our morning class offers childcare
through partnership with the Somerville Family Learning Collaborative. Like our morning classes, our evening classes meet twice a week over 28 weeks throughout the year. We infuse our classes with special topics of interest and concern to residents, including schools, jobs and work issues, health access and housing.

Our English For Parents course is another branch of our ESOL education, with an emphasis on increasing on parental participation in their child's education. EFP is operated in conjunction with Medford and Somerville Public Schools and is available for parents with children enrolled in those systems.

Somerville Workers Center

Starting in 2020, the Somerville Workers Center was born out of a need within our community to take a more proactive effort to speak out and ensure more resources were coming to our immigrant workers. SWC works with community partners such as MassCOSH, the MIRA coalition, and the Brazilian Workers Centers to support those who have been injured on the job, are suffering harassment from employers and facing threats of retaliation for speaking out. We are a founding member of the Somerville Wage Theft Advisory Committee, and provide free advocacy training and information on the rights of workers to all.

College & Career Readiness

As an outgrowth of the LIPS program, The Welcome Project provides workshops and advising to first generation and immigrant youth who aspire to attend college or are looking for advice on starting out in the professional world. We provide guidance on how to create a resume and a college application, how to apply for financial aid, and organize trips to local colleges. We also offer one-on-one counseling and mock interviews to assist students. Students from all grades of high school are encouraged to join.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
