The Michigan Hispanic Collaborative

The Michigan Hispanic Collaborative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is addressing this issue through our program, La Próxima Generación. We are focused on empowering Hispanic students to access and persist through college. Our program provides coherence to the chaos of college access by helping them navigate the complex higher education system and connecting them to resources that will shepherd them to and through college. We also provide students with wraparound support and fill immediate gaps through direct services and access to other services to launch them to a college degree. Through our work, we are creating a college-going culture in the Hispanic community.
