SUPPORTING THE ACADEMIC
AND LEADERSHIP SUCCESS
OF IOWA’S LATINX YOUTH
Increasing high school graduation rates
Help with college and
career preparedness
Culturally positive experiences and support
For communities to thrive,
every individual within it must have have the opportunity to thrive.
Today, more than 200,000 (7%) Iowans are of Latino heritage. As our population continues to grow, so does that number. If the future success of a community depends on the positive futures of its youth, our responsibility is to ensure EVERY one of our community’s youth believes in their opportunity to succeed.
Unfortunately, many of Iowa’s Latinx teenagers struggle with the belief that college and leadership roles are attainable for them. Whether they worry about affordability or feel unqualified, they deserve to know that support and opportunities exist for anyone who dreams of post-secondary education and/or a fulfilling career.
We believe every Iowa child deserves a support system to help guide them toward success.
“If not for Al Éxito, I would not have known that college was possible for me.”
