Programming

English Language Learning

Cville Tulips English Program offers a welcoming space for women where they can focus on learning while their children are cared for, and transportation is provided. Faculty from UVA’s Center for American English Language designed English Circles ranging from beginning literacy to specialized circles like “Citizenship,”  and advise the English team comprised of interpreters, childcare volunteers, and English Circle leaders.

Youth Programming

Youth programming, led by undergraduates and supervised by UVA faculty and local teachers, centers on drama workshops, visual arts, outdoor free play, and soccer. Programming for teenage girls includes leadership training and an occasional radio show. 

Health Education

At each gathering, physicians and residents from the International Family Medicine Clinic at UVA prepare and present a health education module on a topic requested by Cville Tulips participants. Past modules have included nutrition, child development, and pregnancy and reproductive health, and information about navigating the American healthcare system.

Art Programming

Our arts programming offers the women a welcoming space to connect, relax, and express themselves through culturally meaningful creative activities. Through projects such as embroidery, crochet, knitting, beading, painting, and other hands-on crafts, participants celebrate cultural traditions while building friendships, reducing stress, supporting healing, and fostering a sense of belonging.
