Through the Adelante Education Coalition, SAF works with other advocacy, organizing, and community organizations to create a supportive and welcoming community for Hispanic/Latino and migrant students and their families in North Carolina.

Through collaborations with schools, community colleges, and universities, we raise awareness and rally support for improved educational opportunities for Hispanic/Latino students. The Adelante Education Coalition documents Hispanic/Latino and migrant students' educational experiences, develops resources for Spanish-speaking students, parents, and educators, works to promote equality, dignity, and respect for all Hispanic/Latino students within the school system, and strives to increase access to higher education for undocumented students.

We believe that North Carolina should integrate Hispanic/Latino and migrant youth into our communities, cultivate their talents, and enable them to become integrated, educated, and contributing members of our community.

The Blue Ribbon Mentor-Advocate Program
