A successful institution dedicated to provide educational assistance to the Puerto Rican community is ASPIRA of Illinois. It was created as a Puerto Rican nonprofit organization committed to the development and self-determination of the Latino community through education, leadership and the intellectual development of Latinos.
The importance of ASPIRA takes root in the notion that the one natural resource the Puerto Rican and Latino communities have is its youth, whose ambition, initiative, pride and optimism must be supported to keep it from being defeated by the frustrations of the social system.”*
