The Issue
Hispanics make up 19% of the US population, yet only 4.3% are represented in leadership roles in American corporations.

Why?
These are the barriers faced by young Latinos in their journey towards college:
​
THEY DON'T ENROLL: College enrollment ratio for Hispanics is the lowest at 56.2%
​
THEY DON'T STICK IT OUT: The college dropout rate for Hispanics is almost 55%, vs. 38% for non-Hispanic Whites
​
THEY DON'T GRADUATE: Hispanic college graduation rates continue to be the lowest of all ethnicities
