A LiTTLE MORE ABOUT US...
OUR ORiGiN
FOUNDED iN 2012,
WHiLE WORKiNG iN THE NON-PROFiT SECTOR, WiTH FOSTER CARE & JUVENiLE JUSTiCE-iNVOLVED YOUTH, THE iLL-LiTERATE'S ACADEMY FOUNDER, MiC LOU, OBSERVED TWO CRiTiCAL OVERSiGHTS iN THE SYSTEMiC APPROACHES WiTHiN MOST PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT AFRiCAN AMERiCAN YOUTH...THE YOUTH’S LACK OF iNTELLiGENCE REGARDiNG THE DAiLY DiLEMMAS PARENTS FACE & THE PARENT’S LACK OF AWARENESS REGARDiNG THE SOCiAL & EMOTiONAL STRUGGLES OF THE YOUTH...
THUS THE “i.A.” WAS BORN.
OUR PERSPECTiVE
WE HERE AT THE iLL-LiTERATE'S ACADEMY BELiEVE THAT TRUE GROWTH COMES FROM ONE'S RESiLiENCY iN THE FACE OF ADVERSiTY AND THEiR ABiLiTY TO LEARN, ADAPT, AND PERSiST AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS iN REACHiNG THEiR GOALS. WE ViEW OBSTACLES AS OPPORTUNiTiES TO DEVELOP THE MOST EFFECT STRATEGiES THAT WHiCH LEADS TO ONE'S EVENTUAL SUCCESS. FAiLURE, REGARDLESS OF HOW SMALL, iS UNAVOiDABLE ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS THEREFORE iT iS SiMPLY A PART OF THE PROCESS. ONE'S SOCiAL & EMOTiONAL DEVELOPMENT & MATURiTY iS PiVOTAL iN SUCH A PROCESS AND CAN BE THE DiFFERENCE BETWEEN REACHiNG ONE'S GOALS OR BURNiNG THE BRiDGES THAT LEAD TO THEM. THEREFORE, THE iLL-LiTERATE'S ACADEMY LOOKS TO AiD PARTiCiPANTS BY CREATiNG AN ENViRONMENT THAT BUiLDS COMMUNiTY iN AN EFFORT TO ASSiST OUR PARTiCiPANTS iN MAiNTAiNiNG LiFELONG CONNECTiONS.

OUR SYSTEM
AS iNTRiCATE AS OUR SYSTEM iS, iT'S ALSO VERY SiMPLE TO EXPLAiN. WE PARTNER WiTH PARENTS TO AiD THEM iN PARTNERiNG WiTH THEiR PARTiCPANTS (i.E. CHiLDREN) WHO PARTNER WiTH OTHER PARTiCiPANTS AS WE HERE AT THE iLL-LiTERATE'S ACADEMY ASSIST THEM iN PARTNERiNG WiTH THEiR PARENTS. WE BELiEVE THAT GROWTH iN LEARNiNG iS BEST ACHiEVED iN AN ECOSYSTEM iN WHiCH PARENTS AND THEiR CHiLDREN LEARN AT THE SAME TiME.
OUR OBJECTiVE
AS PARENTS, WE TEND TO BELiEVE WE CAN PROTECT OUR CHiLDREN BY LiMiTiNG THEiR EXPOSURE TO CERTAiN PERSPECTiVES, iDEOLOGiES, AND SiTUATiONS. WHEREAS iN SOME CASES THiS MAY HAVE SOME MERRiT, THE FACT OF THE MATTER iS THE GLASS BOWL WE HOPE TO PROTECT THEM WiTH iS OFTEN TiMES NOTHiNG MORE THAN A BUBBLE, EASiLY POPPED WHEN iNTRODUCED TO THE PiERCiNG EFFECTS OF PEER PRESSURE AND OTHER OUTSiDE iNFLUENCES. THE UGLY TRUTH iS WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR CHiLDREN BY CONTiNUOSLY CREATiNG NEW BARRiERS AS OFTEN TiMES THOSE BARRiERS ACTUALLY iNCREASE CURiOSiTY THAT CAUSES CHAOS (i.E. STRESS) iN PARENT/CHiLD RELATiONSHiPS. WE HERE AT THE iLL-LiTERATE'S ACADEMY STRiVE TO LESSEN, iF NOT ELiMiNATE, THE USELESS AND AVOiDABLE STRESSORS OFTEN EXPERiENCED BETWEEN PARENTS AND THEiR CHiLDREN.
