Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are building a work space to give high school students the ability to complete online applications for college and career plans after graduation. In my small office, I make the most of it by providing time and working technology for them to complete applications.

They show perseverance and take control of their future by filling out endless amounts of scholarships, applications and/or

questionnaires'. They need the resources to keep up with the preparatory workload. We need ways to help them feel connected to this ever-growing online world of communication.
