Our Vision:

Our vision is a community of empowered, self-motivated, responsible, and employable individuals.

Our Program:

CREAR is a non-profit organization dedicated to supplemental education for the youth of Playa Samara and El Torito. Given that the local public schools have limited resources and children attend school for an average of only 3 hours a day, 85 days a year, there is a great need for an educational program outside of school hours. Nearly 200 days out of the year, we offer English classes, art classes, and much more; all to improve the holistic education of our area's youth. In the past we have also offered a girls' empowerment course and an adult English program.
