Since 1997, Poder has responded to the educational needs of immigrants in the primarily Latino areas of Pilsen/Little Village and Back of the Yards, on Chicago’s southwest side.  In less than ten years, 4,500 students have attended our tuition free classes.

Students tutor underprivileged youth in neighboring communities.

St. Procopius School provides a dual-language education for over 240 students enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. In addition to learning to read, write, and speak both English and Spanish at or above grade level, students also learn and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of both Mexico and the United States.
