Encouraging Leadership

With a shortage of minorities in education, business, and government, El Valor has taken a giant step in building stronger, more inclusive communities by encouraging a diverse group of individuals to pursue degrees, and assume leadership roles in their communities.

Through El Valor partnerships with colleges and universities, working people who would otherwise be unable to further their education, have the opportunity to participate in degree programs. These programs are conveniently offered during evenings and weekends at El Valor centers in the community.

Through El Valor's university programs, individuals may pursue either an associate, bachelor, master, or doctoral degree in areas such as:
• early childhood education
• educational administration
• speech therapy
• rehabilitation
• guidance
• counseling
• business

Over 500 adults have completed their degrees through the cohort program.
