In six Denver school districts, Hispanic students represent more than half of the student population. The large Hispanic drop out rate indicates an immediate need to improve the academic achievement of Hispanic students in Denver. To address this need, we have implemented the JA Hispanic Initiative.

Our Goals

  •  Increase Hispanic high school graduation rates
  • Ignite Hispanic student motivation and pursuit of high education
  • Inspire a workforce that is better prepared for local industry demands
  • Develop a generation of Hispanic students who are financially literate
