DON'T LET COVID-19 WIDEN THE GAP IN OUR COMMUNITY 
The COVID-19 pandemic widened the existing economic, social and educational gaps between the Anglo and Latino community. Latino families are harder hit by economic downturns and often lack the essential tools and optimal conditions for on-line schooling.  

ELPASO is a bridge builder between the Latino community, school districts and broader economic and human services.  ELPASO's mission is now more important than ever. ​

The educational achievement gap between Latino and Anglo students in Boulder County is the largest in the state of Colorado 

Latino students start kindergarten already two years behind
ELPASO, Engaged Latino Parents Advancing Student Outcomes, is a Latino parent movement designed to close the achievement gap. ELPASO helps families prepare their children to enter kindergarten ready to learn and to support families throughout their school years.

ELPASO WORKS

Our recent studies show how empowerment works:
Picture
100% of parents felt that the ELPASO trainings prepared them to be a leader in their community.
Picture
19 out of 20 parents enrolled their children in an early childhood education program after ELPASO.
Picture
Parents read to their children at least one more time per week after ELPASO.
Your support allows us to further bridge the achievement gap and improve the quality of life in Boulder County for all.

Hear what our families have to say:

ELPASO WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING FOUNDATIONS FOR THEIR CONTINUED ​SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT TO OUR FAMILIES.
