Featured story from our most recent newsletter

2026 is another exciting and pivotal year for the Latino Education Institute (LEI)! After celebrating a successful 25th Anniversary in 2025, we are moving forward with renewed momentum as we launch a strategic planning process to guide our work in the years ahead.

To support this effort, LEI has engaged an experienced external consultant and convened a diverse Strategic Planning Committee of key stakeholders. The process will include one-to-one interviews and focus groups with community members, educators, and the parents and youth we serve, ensuring broad and meaningful input.
