Primary Constituency of ENB Funded Programs:
Greater Boston's Latinx Community
Latinx (Spanish/Portuguese speakers) represent about 60% of ENB’s student base (64% in ESOL for Parents classes, 94% among our English for Immigrant Entrepreneurs classes). Latinx comprise one-fifth of Boston’s population, and 42% of Boston Public School students.
Average Income:
While English for New Bostonians does not request income information from our students, we surmise that all our students live below 200% of poverty level, and most below 100%, by virtue of the language and educational barriers they face. Many work multiple low-wage jobs in an effort to make ends meet.
Number of Students served by ENB funded programs:
Approximately 1,000 annually
