The Latino After-School Initiative (LASI) endeavors to create model after-school programs that identify youths' skill strengths and learning styles, and build these skills through academic and vocational programming to stem poverty, school drop out rates, violence and hopelessness in the local Latino community. Youth will achieve mastery in a range of skills, improve overall academic achievement and significantly more will graduate from high school - qualified for life-long employment.

LASI Vision:
All Latino Children Excel Academically and Socially.

LASI Outcome:
By the time they enter high school Latino children have both the academic skills and character Competencies to succeed in high school and beyond.

Key strategy #1:
Afterschool programs use the tools and practices of Whole Brain Learning prominently to engage children in intentional learning

Key strategy #2:
Latino children have a network of afterschool programs at Latino-led organizations with the capacity and ability to serve Latino children and youth ages 7-14
