Money shortages doom service for Latino students - The Oregon Council for Hispanic Advancement started in 1983 to close this week

Oregon’s first organization dedicated to helping Latino students graduate from high school, learn English and become community leaders decided this week to close its doors because it didn’t have enough money to support its programs.

The Oregon Council for Hispanic Advancement conducted some of the first research about the presence and needs of the fast-growing Latino population in Oregon. The council served more than 1,000 Latino students throughout the state last year.”*
