Your story can help students
See What is Possible
Your success is more than your own story. It can become a guidepost for someone else.
Latinos Count alumni and educators can help current students see what is possible by sharing real experiences, honest advice, and encouragement rooted in their own pathway. Whether you are in college, working, building a business, serving in the military, learning a skilled trade, or leading in the community, your story can inspire the next student to move forward with confidence.
“I’m so impressed by the way Latinos Count helps students and families understand the opportunities available after high school. As a former teacher, I know how valuable that guidance can be, particularly for families navigating language barriers or an education system that may feel unfamiliar.”
Ann Spear Borne, former teacher and philanthropist
Alumni Need to Know:
Others will benefit from what you have learned. Your college, career, military, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, or leadership journey can offer encouragement, practical advice, and connection to current students and families.
Alumni do not have to have everything figured out to make an impact. Sharing a story, answering questions, mentoring a student, or making a connection can help someone else take the next step.
Educators Need to Know:
Latinos Count helps educators connect Latino students and families with trusted bilingual guidance beyond the classroom.
Students often need more than information. They need encouragement, interpretation, relationships, and a clear understanding of what steps to take next. Latinos Count partners with educators by helping students explore meaningful pathways after high school and by helping families engage with confidence. Together, schools and Latinos Count can help more students graduate with a plan, a purpose, and a pathway.
Community Leaders Need to Know:
Latinos Count isn’t just a youth-serving nonprofit; it’s a talent-development partner. Students need exposure to real career pathways, local employers, and practical next steps. Supporting Latinos Count helps strengthen the talent pipeline, deepen community connections, and show students that many people are invested in their future.
Policymakers Need to Know:
Latinos Count advances student success and regional opportunity. We help address information gaps, access barriers, and pathway confusion. Student success is connected to workforce participation, talent retention, and economic mobility.
Community-based organizations can build trust in ways institutions sometimes can’t. Policy and funding decisions should support navigation, mentoring, family engagement, bilingual communication, and multiple postsecondary pathways. The goal is not political positioning; the goal is helping more young people become prepared, confident, and able to contribute.
Philanthropists Need to Know:
