The Hispanic Youth Institute is a four-day, three-night youth empowerment program
that links disadvantaged Hispanic high school students with local Hispanic
professionals, college admissions officers, mentors and other inspirational figures. The
Institute aims to help students develop the skills needed not only to be accepted into
college, but graduate and transition into successful careers.
