Community Value:

We empower underserved youth by removing environmental limitations causing socioeconomic oppression. We seek to empower underserved youth, their parents, guardians, and communities in Texas, the nation, and the world through viable entities, groups, foundations, and programs that integrate science, technology, nutritional, linguistics, reading, mathematics, research and prevention, through education and job creation for undergraduate and graduate students, trainees, professionals, employees, and the public without federal funding.

We seek to empower underserved youth desiring optimal individual achievement with viable resources as recommended by their educators, counselors, mentors and or community leaders.

These youth are identified by the Department of Education as underserved according to the Organization for Co-Operation and Development ratings. We bring more value into the community by reversing these trends and producing bottom-line results, with resources provided directly by individuals and businesses that candidly desire to experience the value of an Accountable Return on Contribution®:

•    82% youth are economically disadvantaged in DISD alone.
•    97% youth are of minority race/ethnicity (57% Latino/Hispanic, 34% African-American)
•    62% youth are female; 38% are male
•    Only 12% youth report having a parent who went to college
•    Less than 5% of DISD 9th graders earn a college degree by their mid-20’s

Spanish has become the country's unofficial second language, and corporate America has responded with diversity initiatives that seek to recruit, understand and attract a Hispanic/Latino workforce, according to Graciela Kenig. 

With more than 40 million Hispanics in the US today and an estimated annual growth rate of 4.65, the Latino community will add 1.7 million people to its population every year. This trend is creating a tremendous demand for bilingual job seekers fluent in Spanish and English.

According to Kenig and other experts, the top industries for bilingual candidates include healthcare, financial services, sales and marketing, social services and public service. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, reports that there are a number of emerging occupations in social services such as cross-cultural counselors, bilingual teachers and consumer credit counselors.
