Latino Student Fund LSF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides educational support services for PreK-12 underrepresented youth in the DC metro area

The Latino Student Fund was founded in 1994 to address the growing high school dropout rates of Hispanic/Latino students in Washington, DC. Over the past two decades, LSF has supported more than 2,000 children, and has continued to develop new services to meet the evolving educational needs of the Hispanic/Latino community. All LSF services are bilingual, and offered free of charge. Our current programs include: comprehensive college access and preparation services; weekly one-on-one tutoring and summer camp scholarships for at-risk youth; parent literacy and advocacy services; school fairs, admissions workshops and family consultation; tuition stipends to local independent and parochial schools. Since LSF was founded, 100% of our 12th grade students have graduated from high school, as compared to 85% of Hispanic/Latino students nationally and 55% in the DC Public Schools system. Over 90% of LSF high school graduates have enrolled in institutions of higher education, as compared to less than 50% nationally.

Students in Fern Barrueta’s Listo Rápido program stepped into the heart of our nation’s capital for a powerful day at the U.S. Capitol, where they explored civic life, public service, and the history behind one of the country’s most iconic landmarks.

A special thank you to Jeyben Castro, Community Outreach and Engagement Director with the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, for hosting this incredible experience. We also thank Raven Reeder, Richard Cerros, Candace Cunningham, Nick Monroy, and Melissa Abigail Lopez Vasquez for sharing their expertise and inspiring the next generation of leaders. ✨

Last week, students in Fern Barrueta's Listo Rápido program spent the day visiting UMBC and Loyola University Maryland, exploring both campuses, touring residence halls, learning about academic programs, and getting a firsthand look at college life.

College visits like these help students envision their future and take the next step toward higher education. Thank you to UMBC and Loyola University Maryland for welcoming and inspiring our students! 🎓
