about
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that believes in the unique superpower of individuals and the collective impact they have in making the world a better place for ALL.
Cristina's Academy uses education as a vehicle that unites, restores and empowers communities. Our programs are designed to address the different dimensions of youth/child development to ensure ALL community members have a chance for success.
What We Do
Our U-Matter Adopt a School program seeks to provide support to public schools located in high-poverty neighborhoods. Through collaboration with local organizations, together we can develop high-impact solutions for our most vulnerable community members.
​
Our U-Matter Youth is a community of youth and community leaders/mentors that informs, improves, and encourages the well-being of our young community members. U-Matter focuses on the different areas of self-care and its effects on mental health.
​
Our Agents of Change program focuses on identifying the unique gifts and talents of our volunteers and develops them into superpowers that make the world a better place. Our Agents of Change tutors follow the "Heart, Mindset & Academic" framework. Their priority is to address the child's emotional needs, then explicitly develop a growth & benefit mindset, while teaching the academic skills needed to succeed in school.
