Our Purpose
|
| The
JL-HMDP was founded in 1992 to increase the representation of Hispanic
women in higher education, by supporting girls who have the academic
potential to succeed in college, and their mothers. The JL-HMDP
is a collaborative effort of the Junior League of Austin and The University
of Texas at Austin School of Social Work. Funding for the program
has been generously provided by the RGK Foundation and the United
Way Capital Area.
This college preparatory program
targets Hispanic females who have the academic potential to become
a family's first female college graduate. By offering an alternative
life path, JL-HMDP also serves as a powerful teen pregnancy and
high school drop out prevention program. Outreach services
are also provided to parents. These services include
mother-daughter conferences and parent support groups.
