Latinos for Education is the first national organization solely dedicated to advancing education across the United States by strengthening the environment for Latino students and leaders to succeed. An education-focused social venture start-up that was founded in 2016, its mission is to develop, place, and connect essential Latino leaders in the education sector.
Their work centers on the belief that increasing the number of Latino leaders influencing the education sector will result in a more equitable education, higher academic achievement, and improved prosperity for Latino students and for the Latino community. To achieve this, the organization has embedded itself in local school districts, engaged community members, advocated for policy improvements, and supported more than 100 Latino education leaders to advance their careers and shift the conversation around Latinos in education.
