Empowering Chicano and Latino Students
About
Grounded in Chicano thought, CORE creates opportunities and change to empower Chicano/Latino students.
Founded in 2004 by former MEChA students, CORE has been dedicated to understanding and elevating the challenges and pride of the Chicano/Latino community, particularly in educational environments. We unapologetically work to uplift Chicano/Latino, immigrant, and undocumented students through our programs and resources, as part of the decades-long movement for Chicano solidarity and empowerment.
"Que Llueva Café" Scholarship
The “Que Llueva Café” Scholarship is an annual, national scholarship program that helps college-bound undocumented students continue on their academic paths.
The QLC Scholarship aims to support the dreams, hopes and aspirations of college bound undocumented students so that they can earn their college education and allow for all of their hard work and sacrifice to persevere. ¡Ójala que llueva café!
Immigrant Youth Empowerment Conference
The Immigrant Youth Empowerment Conference is an annual conference hosted at Vassar College dedicated to immigrant youth, their issues, and their power.
The IYEC brings together immigrant youth and community members from the local area and provides attendees with a day full of workshops, speakers, and plenary sessions that inform and empower immigrant youth about issues confronting their community.
