Today may be the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month, but celebrating our cultura doesn’t end here!
Our heritage lives in our family traditions, the stories passed down through generations, the strength of our communities, and the dreams we’re building for the future.
At MiHC, we’re proud to support students and families as they explore educational opportunities, discover their potential, and work toward their goals. Because celebrating our roots also means investing in the next generation.
Aunque termine el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, ¡nuestra cultura se celebra todos los días!
Let’s continue sharing our stories, embracing our roots, and uplifting one another all year long.

Bold ideas, powerful voices, and limitless potential defined this year’s Latina Leaders x Design (L2xD) summer program. 🩷

L2xD is a three-week summer leadership program empowering young Latinas entering 9th and 10th grade to build confidence, develop essential skills, and prepare for high school, college, and beyond.

Through hands-on projects, inspiring Latina guest speakers, professional connections, and a visit to Carhartt, participants explored real challenges facing their communities— including education, immigration, mental health, and access to resources. Their ideas
came to life through websites, apps, social media, and other creative solutions that showed their passion for helping others.

By the end of the program, participants had grown into confident presenters and leaders who were willing to step outside their comfort zones, share their voices, and support one another. Their final presentations showcased not only the creative solutions they
developed, but also the confidence, resilience, and leadership they gained throughout the program.

This is what happens when young Latinas are given the space to dream, design, and lead.

We’re excited to share that our new Summer Math Program is in full effect! ☀️📚✨

This summer, in collaboration with Grow Detroit’s Young Talent, our rising sophomores are diving into advanced math through this paid, activity-based program with the Algebra Project.

Scholars will leave this program with real math confidence, hands-on problem-solving skills, and a stronger sense of what’s possible for their future. 📚

Rooted in the belief that math literacy is a civil rights issue, we can’t wait for a summer full of growth! ✨

We’re incredibly grateful to Damian Rivera, CEO of for taking the time to speak with our staff last month.

Your insights, leadership, and commitment to uplifting our community continue to inspire us.

At MiHC, we deeply value our partnership with ALPFA and the shared mission of empowering Latino students and future leaders. Together, we’ve already seen the transformative impact this collaboration has on our students, and we’re excited to keep building on that momentum.

We look forward to continuing our work together to connect even more MiHC students with ALPFA opportunities and experiences that shape their academic and professional journeys.

¡Gracias for your partnership and support!
