The Hispanic Latino Commission of Michigan strives to market the state’s career development services to Michigan Hispanics, encourage initiatives to reduce the high school dropout rates of Hispanic youth, and facilitate efforts to increase the enrollment of Hispanics in postsecondary education and training programs. HLCOM has both sponsorships and scholarships available to Michigan.
The HLCOM currently has two representatives from the Muskegon County, Angelita Valdez (angelita@servicesofhopecounseling.com) and Sonya Hernandez (sonyahernandez2011@gmail.com). To learn more and connect with our commissioners please connect.Save the Date: In April, the HLCOM will be hosting a Statewide Latino Graduation Ceremony for any and all Latinos who will graduate from a post secondary education (Associates, Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate, etc.) Once event flyers are created, we will share.
Attend a HLCOM Commission Meeting: https://www.michigan.gov/ogm/commissions/hlcom/commission-meetings
These gatherings are hosted by Latinos Working for the Future, a Latino non-profit organization in Muskegon. Our purpose is to unify and organize the Latino community of the Greater Muskegon Area. We will strive to celebrate our culture, increase interest in our history, while preserving and honoring the Latino dialects of our Hispanic population. Our continuing goals will be to take an active interest in the educational needs of the children and adults in our community whether they are native or foreign born.
We want to hear from you on what you would like to see in our Muskegon community.
