Arizona Latino students are the fastest-growing demographic block in the state, representing 47% of the overall student population. The economic success of our state depends on their achievement. Additionally, Arizona low-income families and communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by inequitable policies, practices and programs for far too long. These inequities have spanned issues like education, workforce development, housing, immigration, healthcare, and have resulted in large populations of disconnected and disengaged youth of color in our state.
