If you are returning to our site -- welcome back. If you are new to our site - make yourself comfortable and know that we are always evolving and bringing you the latest news about the college process.
AGUILA Youth Leadership Institute (AGUILA) is a unique program that increases college enrollment and, more importantly, graduation rates for our youth. Are we unique? We would like to think so. However, we do not believe our approach is rocket science.
We believe we are moving forward because we are stepping backward – back to our roots, our beliefs, our traditions, our values and determination that is so much a part of who we are as a people. It is important to note that non-Latino student enrollment in AGUILA is on the rise
and is a reflection of a growing sentiment among youth that appreciation of differences is critical to the future of our world. Please journey through our website and learn about our approach and the success of our students in what has been viewed as a critical educational movement by
a growing list of supporters. Please click here to watch the video made by one of our students, Juan Juarez.
You too can become a supporter of what has always been referred to as the "Fastest Moving Train" in Arizona; AGUILA recognizes the importance of developing a strong workforce for the future - the future we dream of - the future we hope for.
Join us in support of our children. Our youth are dedicated and committed to their education and are prepared to work hard to ensure the sustainability of AGUILA and the unique programs and services that ultimately benefit their
preparation for the college journey through this special fundraiser. One of the programs these funds will support is the college tour that provide once in a lifetime experience for many youth in the application and
decision-making process critical to their success. The Circle Tour takes students to 7 schools in Arizona and New Mexico along with a visit to the
National Hispanic Cultural Center while the California tour will take students on a visit to 7 schools in addition to a tour of the Museum of Tolerance. Click here to find out how you can support our work in providing these very unique experiences for our students.
I invite you to review the site and gain a greater understanding of our organization, learn more about the students and families we serve and the valuable partners, supporters and friends we work with. I encourage you to call upon us should you have questions or wish to participate
and/or contribute in some way to the future of our children, our families and our communities. Enjoy the photo album of our 3rd Annual Leadership Symposium, with the theme of "Creating a Masterpiece" or watch our video. Stay tuned - we are always growing!
Adelante!
