¡Adelante! America Coordinator Portal

LULAC’s ¡Adelante! America Program seeks to create a motivational environment for Hispanic high school students that encourages and nurtures them to become leaders in their communities. Designed as a leadership development program, the ¡Adelante! America does more than simply expose participants to new ideas; it helps students take an active role in the decisions that shape their community. ¡Adelante! America provides exceptional personal development via one-on-one academic counseling sessions. Participation in ¡Adelante! America provides students with an expanded world-view and the tools necessary for succeeding in that world through college education.

Through its highly interactive and thought-provoking curriculum, ¡Adelante! America transitions students from the paradigm of observation to the paradigm of participation. Students gain a greater awareness of their own decision-making process, as well as respect for the unique world views of others. Once this basic idea is established, progress toward common goals such as succeeding in school, getting into college, getting a good job and being a productive member of society can be achieved.
