Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

We can learn a lot from young people if we take the time to listen to them, to help them develop their voices, their questions, and help them to turn the adversity they face, their unique experiences into media projects that powerfully express their voices.

Our students are urban California residents aged 13-18 who have histories of substance abuse and incarceration. These youth tend to reside in neighborhoods with high incidences of poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, and crime, and are routinely faced with high levels of violence inside their families and in their immediate community. A disproportionate number are youth of color, particularly African American (57%) and Latino (31%). A recent review found that 80% were from single-parent low- income households; 47% have been in out-of-home placements including foster care and many have engaged in sex in exchange for money, drugs, or other goods. Many have limited life skills, minimal or no job skills, multiple health issues, and low self-esteem. Many are as much as seven years behind expected academic performance when they come to our school. The revolving door of the justice system is a reality for most; on average they have had five prior contacts with the juvenile justice system. The mental health disorders suffered by these youth include depression, compulsion, anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress, conduct disorders and inability to make healthy choices.

Educational resources, employment training and services to address family violence, neglect, and other traumas were rarely available to these youth until they were caught in the cycle of the juvenile justice system. We need a Sony HVR Z7U camcorder professional Mini DV HDV and a Sony HVR DR60 Hard Disc Record Unit, both with extended warrenties. We have partnered with Adobe Youth Voices, Bill and Melinda Gates and DonorsChoose.org to offer youth who are at a fork in the road a powerful set of tools to help them find their way out of trouble and into college. These students have seen aspects of our society that few us will ever experience and they have the ability to lead the way to a more just society. They have not had access to the tools and resources that more privileged students have had access to, instead they have adapted to their difficult situations in creative and often courageous ways.

What these students need is to believe that their voice is important. They must develop the self confidence and resiliency that comes from completing projects that they really care about. They need to know that every person regardless of the hand they have been dealt has the right to fully participate in our educational system (by graduating from high school and college) so that they may fully participate in our democracy. Your donation tells them that you believe in them, that you want to hear what they have to say, and that you believe that the struggles that they have faced give them a unique and powerful voice, a voice that should be heard!
