The CYA-Learning Center (CLC) was established in 2014 with a focused mission: to provide English education to local children and teenagers. What began as a modest bamboo classroom has grown into a thriving educational hub, thanks to the dedication of local and international volunteers. Today, CLC is equipped with modern facilities, including well-furnished English classrooms, a library, and a computer center, creating a nurturing environment for learning and personal growth.
CLC’s impact extends beyond academics. The center actively engages the community in practical activities such as vegetable gardening, soap-making workshops, and classroom renovation projects. These initiatives not only teach valuable life skills but also foster sustainability and continually enhance the center's infrastructure.
The evolution of CLC stands as a testament to the power of collective action and volunteerism. It showcases how shared dedication and effort can bring meaningful and lasting change to a community.
We invite you to join us at CYA-Learning Center and be part of this transformative journey.
Your time, expertise, and passion can make a profound difference in empowering local children and uplifting their communities. Together, we can continue building a future filled with opportunity, hope, and positive impact.
