Washington, DC
WAVE has partnered with the DC Public Schools Office of Bilingual Education to create Opportunities for Leadership, Achievement, and Service (OLAS), which means “waves” in Spanish.
The after school program pairs Latino newcomers (immigrant students who have been in the country less than a year) with former newcomer students for peer mentoring.
OLAS offers immigrant students structured opportunities to share experiences, gain new knowledge and skills, and build relationships that promote positive social behaviors.
OLAS is made possible with support from:
 DC Mayor’s Office on Latino Affairs
DC Department of Human Services Early Care and
Education Administration
Other partners include:
DC Public Schools Office of Bilingual Education
Latin American Youth Center
Lincoln Middle School
