The Central Valley Hispanic Youth Symposium
Fresno State University | July 20-23, 2010

After the Symposium

The Hispanic Youth Symposium is not just a one-time event: It is the first step on a pathway to college and career that is supported locally as well as nationally by an array of committed staff members!

After the symposium concludes, the students will become part of the Hispanic Youth Institute, year-round programming that will provide all symposium alumni with information and opportunities that support their educational, professional, and community goals in the years following the symposium.

An Electronic Outreach Campaign

In addition to joining receiving local outreach and support, all student alumni will receive emails from the national Hispanic College Fund office with information about scholarship opportunities, internships, college access information, and career profiles and opportunities. These emails will continue indefinitely.

Just a Phone Call Away

Students will connect with Hispanic College Fund staff during the symposium and make friendships and support networks that will last a lifetime. The Hispanic College Fund staff are always available by telephone or email to answer questions and provide resources to any student at any time.

Mentors and Volunteers Have a Lasting Impact

A key component of the Hispanic Youth Symposium is the involvement of the community volunteers and college “near peer” advisors who work with and speak to the students - 90% of Hispanic Youth Symposium alumni report leaving the symposium with a mentor. These relationships remain long after the symposium ends, providing the students with additional support as they progress through their educational pathway.
