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.

My Project

At our school, where the majority of students proudly identify as Hispanic, we empower youth to raise their voices through the art of podcasting.

Our podcast program gives students the tools to tell their own stories, challenge stereotypes, and explore issues of racial justice and cultural representation.

The students need a new iPad and teleprompter for their podcast.

A teleprompter will not only help them stay on message—it will also boost their confidence by helping them look polished and sound professional. When students feel that they look and sound good, they show up with greater pride, clarity, and power in sharing their voices with the world.
