¡Salir Adelante! Caminos a Nuestro Futuro gives Latino Iowans tools and support to reach their educational aspirations and help their families thrive

Kimberly Greder, Morrill Professor in Human Development and Family Studies and Extension State Specialist, and Rosa Gonzalez, Human Sciences Family Wellbeing Specialist have developed, alongside six other Iowa State University extension staff, faculty and a graduate student, ¡Salir Adelante! Caminos a Nuestro Futuro (Pathways for our Future) to give Latino Iowans tools and support to reach their hopes and dreams for education and to help their families thrive.

In this publication, the educators talk about the kind of support Latino families need when it comes to navigating the U.S. education system and the results this program is having in Iowa.

The publication is excerpted from the New Technologies for Ag Extension 2022-2023 Yearbook, which documents dozens of projects funded through the New Technologies for Ag Extension (NTAE) program. NTAE is a cooperative agreement between USDA NIFA, Oklahoma State University, and the Extension Foundation. The goal of the New Technologies for Ag Extension (NTAE) grant is to incubate, accelerate, and expand promising work that will increase the impact of the Cooperative Extension System (CES) in the communities it serves, and provide models that can be adopted or adapted by Extension teams across the nation.
