Mentoring Latinas, a program developed in the fall of 2003 at the Fordham Graduate School of Social Service by Ellen S. Silber Ph.D., aims to address the increasing school dropout rates among adolescent Latinas. Twenty mentors from Fordham University and more than 40 mentees in middle and high school make up the current program. Dr. Silber is very proud of how far the program has come in such a short time and yet recognizes the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. She continues to do research on the population and to focus on raising funds for the program. To date, Mentoring Latinas has raised more than $350,000 from various sources including the Walmart Foundation and AT&T. |
