Data shows that Hispanic and other boys and young men of color, regardless of socio-economic background, are disproportionately at risk throughout the journey from their youngest years to college and career. To ensure the economic and social viability of our nation, it is critically important that the education and life outcomes for students, particularly Hispanic and other boys and men of color, are enhanced.
