Joseph Paniagua - FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The goal in starting Latino Youth Outreach, was to assist and change the lives of hundreds and thousands of Latino students in the years to come, by Empowering and Inspiring Latino Youth through Education. Creating and supporting programs that make resources available to students in achieve their goals in reaching higher education, while simplifying the struggle for Latino Youth students and their families.
Starting Latino Youth Outreach was a dream come true and to do what you love every day is a HOMERUN. Empowering Latino students by making resources available to them in navigating the complexities of continuing education is PRICELESS.
Joseph attributes his opening of Latino Youth Outreach, to his year growing up in NYC in the 80's with limited opportunities and resources available in achieving his own goals. Never forgetting the struggles and challenges he faced, he promised to dedicate his future in supporting Latino student from low-income families in reaching their goals.
