The Pasaporte a la Educación Initiative is to keep Hispanic students on the path to higher education/skill set certification to decrease the dropout rate, and to prepare our future workforce through the following:

• Bilingual Leadership Mentoring Programs for Hispanic Students in Schools

• Bilingual Educational Web Portal

The VHF accomplishes its goal by providing opportunities and resources that lead to the economic and social well-being of Latinos throughout their assimilation into the community and culture.
