Latinos in Action Inc.
Mission
The mission of LIA is to empower Latino youth to lead and strengthen their communities. We achieve this through culturally responsive social and emotional learning, college and career readiness, and leadership development. Our program offers an asset-based approach to bridging the graduation and opportunity gap for Latino students, working from within the educational system to create positive change. Across Utah, we work with Latino students who historically and currently have not made adequate progress in academic achievement and high school graduation rates as compared with their peers. In addition, college attending rates for Latino students is significantly less than other student groups. We work with thousands of Latino students across the state, many who are low income, first generation, Spanish speaking/non English speaking and limited with social capital, resources, access and opportunity in and outside of schools.
Vision
Be the model for Latino youth engagement through Personal Assets, Excellence In Education, Service, and Leadership.
Goals
- 1.Growth in rate of our students in their senior year will have a postsecondary plan with more than 90% planning to attend college. 80% or more will maintain a B grade or higher in their courses; participate in service activities; participate in workshops and activities. They will be supported with Financial Aid, College Planning & Selection process, Applications/Writing.
- 2.We piloted Family Engagement sessions based on the students who have shared that their families need to be engaged and better understand the requirements of high school graduation. Tools required to access resources during high school and college including mental health, financial aid, academic support and overall inclusion and positive identity development that often schools do not provide.
- 3.All LIA students are divided into three LIA class committees: the Service Committee, the Social Committee, and the Professionalism Committee. As they practice leadership skills, they develop the confidence to then participate in other school activities. In LIA class committees, students learn how to run a meeting, write and present a proposal, and conduct themselves in a professional manner.
