Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The challenges that young Latinos face in the United States are many. Our organization specifically addresses the needs of first, second, and third generation young Latino immigrants. There is a wide gap in ministries addressed to this specific group of young people. These young Latinos are the church at higher and higher rates because they are not finiding community and programs where they feel welcomed. Many young Latinos struggle to stay in school, with on 22% of Latinos graduating with an associates degree or higher. Many Latinos live in poverty and often end up in crowds where drugs are a problem. The suicide rate among young Latinos is double that of white young people in this country.
