Facilitating partnerships with Hispanic/Latino communities in Missouri

NORTHEAST REGION

Fiscal Year 09

In May 2009, NE Regional Extension Faculty and Milan Centro Latino staff met to explore the possibility of a summer youth program.  There is a need for curriculum development that specifically meets the needs of Hispanic youth in Milan.  This opportunity was discussed with the Statewide 4-H Specialist for further consideration and the need for collaboration with the regional staff was reiterated.

Fiscal Year 06-07
In December 2006, Alianzas awarded $2,994.94 to support and facilitate the integration and education of "Steps to a Healthier You" for Hispanic/Latino populations in Kirksville and Milan.

Fiscal Year 05-06
In February 2006, Alianzas awarded $3,000 to support partnerships for the Hispanic/Latino Community Leadership Academy in Sullivan County, which was primarily geared to Hispanic/Latino students in grades 9-11 who showed potential as community leaders.

As a result, participants were afforded the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to more effectively and efficiently identify the needs of their community and develop an action plan to address them.
