The Latino Male High School/College Achievement Program at Arizona State University's Center for Community Development and Civil Rights endeavors to explore, recognize, and catalog the best practices relating to the retention and recovery of at-risk Latino male high school students.

As such, you have been contacted because of your work with at-risk students, intervention, retention and prevention programs. Whether you represent a faith-based or community-based organization, a research institution, or a national foundation, whether you service young males or parenting teens of any ethnicity, the Center seeks input from all quarters because we recognize that the best practices are not exclusive to one community, philosophical understanding, or political perspective.

Additionally, you are being contacted in the interest of organizing a symposium that aims to coordinate a comprehensive, shared knowledge base that identifies and catalogs successful retention and prevention practices developed to address the unique issues of 13-21 year-old Latino males, and make this catalog available to practitioners nationwide.

Please review the symposium and contact Robert Soza to coordinate your participation or to refer an expert practitioner.
