Alliances and Capacity Building Area

The Chana & Samuel Levis Foundation, Inc. strongly believes in forging alliances to achieve greater impact in our programmatic areas. At present, we have collaborative agreements with the Universidad del Sagrado Corazon and the Universidad Interamericana.

We are continually looking for opportunities that help to create high quality academic communities in Puerto Rico and to improve the quality of life of the homeless. We sponsor trainings, workshops and other opportunities for professional enrichment for educators, students, and all members of the academic community.

We also focus our efforts towards improving the services offered to the homeless and supporting organizations that work with the homeless population. Among the activities that we sponsor are the Strategic Session to Eradicate Homelessness, the Strategic Session on School Violence, and the Community Forums for the non-profit sector.

In accordance with the Foundation's Mission, the Alliances and Capacity Building Division seeks to disseminate useful information to interest groups from all of our programmatic areas. We aim to share with them innovative initiatives that have proven successful with respect to both education and homelessness. This division is also responsible for the Foundation's volunteer program.
