LATINO YOUTH OUTREACH EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS

Latinos are the most rapidly growing minority group in the United States, predicted to comprise 29% of the population by 2050, yet they have the lowest college completion rate. While Latino high school graduation rates have improved, only 15% hold degrees. One-third of Latinos students in public schools live at or below the poverty level, with a majority of these students attending schools lacking the resources and guidance to assist with the complexities of navigating the continuing education process.

The Latino Youth Outreach Empowerment program will select the top Latino seniors, from high schools, nominated by their principals, within low-income families to participate in the Latino Youth Outreach Empowerment Program. The program is designed to assist high school seniors and their families with WORKSHOPS offering guidance and resources to navigate the complexities of pursing higher education and apportion resources to assist with the costs through Scholarships.
