FREEHOLD, NJ – The HISPA Role Model program, a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing professional Hispanic role models for young students, started off its second year with 50 new volunteers, which allows the program to substantially expand its reach.
Caring Across Communities
The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools has released a new publication, Helping immigrant and refugee students succeed: It’s not just what happens in the classroom.
Problematic behaviors exhibited by students have a direct impact on student success and the importance of engaging families for student academic achievement has been well documented.
“HACEMOS Support for HISPA 2.0 Goes Live”
Dear friends and members of HACEMOS,
I am very proud to share with you great news about our Hispanic Heritage Month kick-off event (HACEMOS DAY), on Tuesday September 16th. We provided a venue for our long time partner HISPA ( https://www.hispa.org/ ) to host Latino leaders from many Hispanic organizations*, to network and to learn from excellent speakers and panelists. This event also officially launched an amazing program that enables individuals like you and me to inspire a student by spending just a few hours of our time: the “HISPA Role Model program”. By challenging us to join the 100 Role Models in 100 Hours campaign, 15 HACEMOS NJ members volunteered for this program and a total of 50+ role models from the attendees.
