In recent years, much attention has focused on the issue of education at all levels in Minnesota, especially among the state's growing racial and ethnic makeup. Minority education, specifically among Latinos, has taken center stage among the Latino community and policy discussions. One of the CLAC's main strategic objectives is to decrease the "achievement gap" in the classroom and increase the graduation rate for Latino youth in Minnesota.

CHCI

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) is one of the leading Hispanic non-profit and non-partisan 501(c) (3) organizations in the country. CHCI was established in 1978 by Congressman Edward Roybal, Congressman E. "Kika" de la Garza and Congressman Baltasar Corrada to help increase opportunities for Hispanics to participate in and contribute to the American policy making process.

Since then, CHCI's mission has been to develop the next generation of Hispanic leaders. Our vision is an educated and civically active Hispanic community participating at the local, state and federal policy decision-making levels.
