Facilitating Access to
Essential Services
22
In order to provide holistic support to students,
we partner with or refer students to more than 70
community organizations including the Greater
Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
Clínica del Pueblo, Andromeda, CentroNía, DC
Bar Pro Bono Clinic, The College Board, and MPD
Latino Liaison Unit. Through these organizations
we are able to provide services such as health
screening, safety training, affordable housing
workshops, and HIV testing. These partnerships
allow us to address the many barriers that
often impede student persistence in achieving
their educational goals. Bilingual mental health
counseling is also offered year round onsite by
experienced licensed counselors
Employment and Career Services
Employment and career services meet students
wherever they are on their career journey.
Students meet one-on-one with career specialists
for advising as well as attend group workshops
on soft skills such as professionalism, resume
building and interviewing. Students can also
access job placement services. Once students are
placed in positions case managers follow up and
support students in advancing in their careers.
Leadership Development
Democratically-elected student government
representatives organize projects to give back to
the community and act as liaisons between their
peers and school administrators.
