When Latinos Succeed, We All Succeed
Latinos currently make up 29% of school children and will become a third of the US population by 2050. Yet, opportunity gaps still exist for 5.4 million Latino students. Our nation is dependent on this future workforce that needs increased access and opportunity for an excellent education. We need more education leaders dedicated to Latino student success serving as decision makers and advocates to work alongside students and families for their collective empowerment. At Latinos for Education, we are leading a coalition of education leaders to improve educational outcomes for Latino children.

of leaders on education boards
of leaders on executive teams in education organizations
We have a shared responsibility for making sure this is not the cycle that continues for our families and our community.
As a first generation college graduate, I’ve seen the impact of having Latino role models first hand, and I’m committed to ensuring that more students see leaders that look like them.
In my own experiences, I have had few Latinos to connect with as peers. To achieve progress, we need organizations like Latinos for Education to create accessible networks for Latino leaders in this field.
