The Hispanic Youth Leadership Program (HYLP) provides after-school programs with the focus of student expression, reflective leadership, community service, life and employment skills, academics, career awareness, field trips and post-secondary education.
During programming, students participate in interactive discussions informed by ASPIRA and UNIDOS US curriculum to include speakers on subject matter relevant to the youth experience, as well as social determinants of health. Homework help and one-on-one support is also provided to assist with academic success, persistence, graduation, and social-emotional growth.
Group mentoring from our youth organization is offered twice monthly, after school and directly within each participating school. Sessions last 2 hours using the evidence-based curriculum from One Circle Foundation intertwined with curriculum from Unidos to ensure culturally specific elements. Students who want individual mentoring are assigned a mentor who is background checked and vetted by Esperanza to support academic and social emotional needs.
