In a significant development for the Latino community in the Dayton area, a new partnership was announced today at the main library downtown. Dr. Gabriela Pickett, a specialist working with the Mexican consulate, has joined forces with El Puente, a local organization dedicated to supporting Latino Americans through various family and educational programs.
The highlight of the gathering was the signing of a memorandum establishing the Plaza Comunitaria program, which aims to enhance literacy and provide GED certification opportunities for the Latino and Hispanic populations in the region. This initiative is particularly noteworthy as it will offer educational resources in Spanish, catering specifically to the needs of Latino Americans.
The collaboration between the Mexican Consulate, El Puente, and the Dayton Metro Library (DML) is expected to create valuable educational pathways for residents, fostering greater community engagement and support. As the program develops, local officials are optimistic about its potential impact on the educational landscape for Latino Americans in the area. Further updates on the program's progress will be shared as it unfolds.
