From scholarship opportunities to leadership experiences and career exploration, February was a month of growth and empowerment for our youth! Read on to see how Esperanza continues to support students on their path to success.
Hispanic Youth Leadership Program
In February, students engaged in dynamic workforce development, leadership experiences, and college exploration activities. Through hands-on workshops and guidance, they gained essential skills and insights to navigate their future careers. Additionally, students explored a variety of scholarship opportunities and summer employment options, empowering them to take proactive steps toward achieving their academic and career goals while preparing for future success.
Winter Coat Giveaway
In partnership with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, 75 brand-new winter coats were donated to students of all grade levels at Natividad Pagán International Newcomers Academy. For many of these students, adjusting to a new environment comes with challenges, and access to warm clothing is essential for their well-being. This initiative helps ensure they can focus on their education without worrying about the winter months ahead.
Health care event
Students from John Marshall, Lincoln West, James Ford Rhodes, and Natividad Pagán International Newcomers Academy joined Esperanza’s post-secondary programs at a dynamic career fair. They connected with professionals in healthcare, STEM, and business, gaining valuable insights and exploring diverse career pathways for their futures.

Summer Employment
Students from all participating high schools have applied for the exciting opportunity of summer employment with Esperanza, eager to gain valuable work experience and develop new skills. This opportunity is crucial for building professional networks, enhancing resumes, and gaining hands-on experience that will set them up for future success in their careers.
Diversity Org Event
Students from all participating high schools took part in a virtual STEM career exploration workshop hosted by Diversity Org. and AT&T. During the session, they learned about a wide range of STEM careers and received expert advice from a panel of specialists, offering them a deeper understanding of the opportunities and pathways within these dynamic fields.
