Latinos for Education

Latinos for Education is a national education nonprofit based in Boston that brings together Latino educators, students, families and communities to build stronger schools. It describes itself as the first Latino-founded and Latino-led national education nonprofit. The organization develops educators and future leaders, engages families and community members, and works with funders, partners and coalitions to influence education policy and practice so that every child can thrive.

Founded in Massachusetts in 2016, the group has grown into a national organization with a regional presence in Massachusetts, Texas and California. Its current framework, Visión 2050, is a long-term vision for an education system shaped by and for Latinos, built by hearing directly from Latino families, educators and community leaders across the country. The organization argues that schools must adapt to artificial intelligence, civic fragmentation and demographic change, and that Latino leadership is central to that work.
