The Tumaini Program is a learning community
designed to increase academic and personal success, and promote transfer
to four-year colleges and universities. Tumaini targets students who are
interested in learning about African-American history, literature, and culture.

building strategies to enhance students' learning potential in and out of the
classroom. The Program will combine elements of counseling and other
courses (English, Math) to assist students with the rigors of college life.
