Advocacy Planning Committee
The Advocacy Planning Committee (APC) is a group of LEAD Coalition members, hand selected for a grant opportunity to work together to develop strategies, plan initiatives, and coordinate advocacy efforts on behalf of Latino students in the public education system. The APC serves as a resource in developing advocacy strategies for coalition policy priorities, research projects, and events.
The APC works closely with Hispanic Federation staff to support the coalition’s advocacy efforts by developing and implementing strategies that will help achieve our overall mission: obtaining equity in the education system for Latino students.
The Advocacy Planning Committee provides strategic guidance and support in the following areas of focus:
Graduation Measures

The Advocacy Planning Committee is comprised of the following organizations:
