States Of Impact

California

California has the scale to reimagine what education can be. More than half of the state’s public-school students are Latino, creating a generation ready to shape what comes next. We’re mobilizing communities and developing educators who will help make that possible.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Latino
Leadership Matters

Latino communities sit at the center of California’s future. Latino workers are a growing share of the national workforce, Latino entrepreneurs are driving economic growth, and Latino voters are reshaping the civic landscape. The success of Latino students will play a decisive role in the strength of California’s economy and democracy in the decades ahead.
