FUERZA

 FUERZA

The Fuerza program focuses on post-secondary success with Latinx students and ensures that students are enrolling and completing their first-year in postsecondary education and are receiving the support needed in a postsecondary setting.  The Fuerza program is currently being offered at all PPS, Gresham, Reynolds, and Parkrose high schools that currently host other Latino Network programs.

Fuerza coordinators check in with students twice a month and will provide quarterly workshops for students and parents during the school year. In addition, the Fuerza Coordinator will offer an 8-week summer program where students will continue to receive case management twice a month and attend 4 workshops.
