Mission Statement:

Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s Passport to Education Bilingual Leadership Mentoring Program is part of the educational initiative of the VAHCC to keep Hispanic students on the path to higher education, supporting students to keep them engaged in school.

We need mentors to work with Hispanic students on a bilingual leadership lesson that is provided during each session for one hour, once a week, in the elementary and middle schools, and for one hour, once a month, in the high schools.

This is a great opportunity to share your guidance and wisdom with a Hispanic student who will treasure it for a lifetime.
