Escalera

What is the Escalera Program?

Escalera empowers Latinx students to be strong, proud and independent learners who will graduate college-ready from high school. To help our students succeed, we combine mentoring, academic tutoring, hands-on workshops, team-building, community involvement, guest speakers, and field trips on careers, higher education, community leadership and cultural identity. Escalera is a space where students can develop a deep sense of belonging to each other, their school and the community as a whole.

Programming takes place at Centro Hispano, 2403 Cypress Way, Madison, WI, 53713
