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.

19 out of 20 parents enrolled their children in an early childhood education program after ELPASO.
