Jovenes con Voz

For the Spring 2009 semester, Portfolio Center students are mentoring a high school youth group from Caminar Latino, Georgia’s first and only comprehensive domestic-violence intervention program for Latino families. The 15 high school students, who meet once a week with their college mentors, are developing a set of posters dealing with pressing social issues in Atlanta’s Latino community. The goal of the project is to hang these posters in area middle schools, adding to the cycle of mentoring by allowing the Caminar Latino students to help middle-schoolers’ find helpful solutions to social pressures.
