Latino Initiative

Latino initiative is a program that meets on Tuesdays after school when Latino students have fun and also get their homework done. During this time they first go outside and play. Then UNC tutors come and help them get there work done. The difference between an original after school program and Latino Initiative is that they have tutors to help the students. Students also join this program because they feel more comfortable with other students that speak their own language. This program helps students speak up when they need to and they also get a chance to get to know other people like them in other grade levels. On the last day of after school we have a party and we all bring food like tamales, posole, enchiladas and a lot more.
