Honoring People and Community
The Latin Academy, NYC
Latin Academy is a program educating younger generations of Latino heritage about the complex beauty of our origins. Our goal is to give them a strong sense of belonging, which will in turn create opportunities that can help foster a society of diversity and inclusion.
