The organization that I receive letters from is the National Latino Children’s Institute.
Building stronger communities so that each child has what they need to succeed requires not only an understanding of the existing conditions, but the ability to create unique programs and build alliances with diverse members of the community—government, community-based organizations, religious and other leaders, etc. NLCI has a twelve-year proven track record in bringing people together to work on specific issues and helping to create a better future for all children. NLCI has identified the best strategies for working with the Latino community and partners with community organizations throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico to test ideas and implement new programs. The community programs are frequently chosen from winners of the La Promesa de un Futuro Brillante Awards, a recognition of exemplary work in the Latino community.
Our Mission
NLCI's mission is to focus the nation's attention on the contributions and challenges of young Latinos by advocating for their success and well being through partnerships and programs.
Our Vision
NLCI envisions communities and a nation where young Latinos are heard, valued and a priority for the future of our nation.

Hey Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI was not aware of the National Latino Children’s Institute! I think this is a vital resource, especially after the video we viewed last week and hearing Dr. Grace's interview and perception of different cultures now becoming the majority, we need resources like this to refer to and learn from. Thanks for sharing!
