Latinos in College Initiative
The future of Latinos students in the US is under fire. Of every 100 Latino students entering Kindergarten, only 12 graduate from college. One of the reasons for this awful statistic is that often these students are the first in their families to go to college, so they have few role models and little support.

After doing hundreds of workshops with Hispanic students and parents across the country and hearing their stories, Mariela Dabbah, award-winning author and consultant on Latino issues, decided to champion a campaign to help change these statistics.

Latinos in college: Preparing Emerging Leaders for the Workforce is a nationwide public awareness campaign to help increase the number of Latinos who graduate from college, therefore reducing the achievement gap between Latinos and non-Latino students.

One of the tools of the initiative is an interactive website www.latinosincollege.com where students find resources such as scholarships, internships and mentorship programs, and where they can connect with other students and professionals who can guide them through college.
