Latina Day

Testimonials:

"LIP provided the resources to help me get into college and increase my likelihood of graduating with a 4-year degree. In turn, this supported my larger vision of being set up for success as a Latina; to be and do whatever I want in life by giving me the opportunity for exploration, exposure, & self-discovery that college provides. In addition, it increased the security of obtaining a career or job that provides me with financial stability for an overall better quality of life."
