Educational Opportunities
Changing Life Trajectories for Latino Families
Our funded programs help Spanish-dominant immigrant families learn to read and write in their native language as well as to communicate in English. Community and school programs help Latino families integrate and reach academic and career goals.
Work with our statewide nonprofit partners changes lives by:
- Educating Spanish-dominant Immigrants to gain critical language, parenting, academic, and career skills.
- Assisting Latino children and youth (Kindergarten through High School) to achieve trajectory-changing personal growth, social emotional competence, and academic success.
