The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans211u001eworked with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, 211u001eLatino community-based organizations, educators and youth advisors throughout the 211u001enation to identify and catalogue programs that work for Latino youth. Some of the 211u001eprograms recommended by our colleagues were created specifically to serve young 211u001eHispanics, while other programs have shown strong benefits to Latino youth and at 211u001ethe same time serve broader populations. Most of the programs presented are 211u001ecomprehensive, community strengths-based programs that address needs by offering 211u001eappropriate cultural and linguistic services. This directory is a compendium of 211u001eprograms that have been recommended to date. Thus, it is a work in progress. The 211u001econtact information and program descriptions are offered to facilitate networking 211u001eand information sharing. The directory is intended to be a tool for foundations, 211u001ebusinesses, policymakers, community-based organizations, schools, universities 211u001eand any others interested in discovering like-minded individuals and communities 211u001eactively engaged in addressing the strengths and needs of Latino youth.
