Freedom, Advocacy, Resilience for Our Students (F.A.R.O.S)

This weekly club was founded three years ago to offer Erwin Middle Latino students (7th and 8th grades) a weekly space to navigate challenges related with identity, adult expectations, self-advocacy, academics, and emotional growth. 45 students have been served and reported gaining skills in dealing with problems and in transitioning to high school with less anxiety.
