The Hispanic Achievers

The Hispanic Achievers was represented during the Tuesday, 01/08/13, LSHRM Chapter meeting.

LSHRM has partnered with the Hispanic Achievers or Adelante in 2011-2012 by providing guest speakers to the students in the program. 

The following information can be found on their website:
“ Adelante Hispanic Achievers was founded in January 2004 by Stephen Imhoff and a core of community leaders who shared the belief that with support and resources, Louisville’s Hispanic/Latino students and their families can have a bright future.

Adelante was incorporated as a non-profit (501c3) entity on September 15, 2004.  Their mission to provide opportunities for Hispanic youth and their families to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to function cross-culturally and to contribute to society as informed and pro-active citizens.”

Mara Maldonado, Director of Hispanic Achievers, attended our meeting and provided some sample material and pictures of activities that the students have participated in.
