WHO
IS SCAN? MEET ROSA
LANDEROS
Rosa was born and
raised in Mexico City, Mexico where she earned a
degree in Social Work and carried her passion for
working with families to the US. She has lived in
Alexandria, VA since 1991 and since 1998 has
worked as a Parent Liaison for Alexandria City
Public Schools. She is the proud mother of two
young, successful adults and looks forward to
bringing her energy to support SCAN's concentrated
efforts with the immigrant, Hispanic
population.
In
addition to working in the office several hours a
week, Rosa is facilitating a weekly ongoing parent support group in
Spanish at Good Shepherd Catholic Church and will
be conducting periodic workshops in the community
based on the culturally-relevant materials she
develops for Hispanic parents.
Rosa
Landeros joined the SCAN team in February as the
Spanish Outreach
Facilitator. This new position
is funded through a CareFirst grant and support
from Giving Circle of Hope and the Northern
Virginia Community Foundation. The
funding allows SCAN to focus on developing
culturally-specific materials for the large
immigrant, Hispanic population in Northern
Virginia.
