Students
Your future is bigger than
One Decision
College. Career. Skilled trades. Military service. Entrepreneurship. There is more than one way to build a meaningful future, and Latinos Count is here to help you find the path that fits you.
You bring the talent, determination, and work ethic. We help you understand your options, connect with resources, and take the next step with confidence.
I love the fact that Latinos Count promotes self-sufficiency and advocates for Latino students in our community, as well as across the state. It helps young people see the opportunities available to them, connects them with resources that can help them take the next step, and empowers them to make informed decisions about their education, careers, and future. That kind of support doesn’t just benefit individual students—it strengthens families, communities and our entire state.

Investing in our students
BENEFITS EVERYONE
“Latinos Count is my passion. For me, it is a labor of love. I don’t think there’s an organization in our market that is solely focused on Latino youth, one that prepares them for life after high school. This is important because oftentimes language becomes a barrier in Latino families living in the U.S. Latinos Count helps bridge the gap between the language barrier and complex information about higher education that is not always easily understood by first generation Latino parents due to the language challenges, and for young adults because it is confusing.”
