Mother-Daughter/Father-Son Program
La Plaza's Mother-Daughter/Father-Son (MD/FS) empowers middle school Latinos to continue their education through high school and beyond by helping them value the importance of education, develop self-esteem and leadership skills, shatter negative myths and stereotypes, foster supportive and enduring relationships, and explore future dreams and goals. The program also works with parents to help give them the tools to contribute to their child's education. Students participate in weekly meetings at area schools as well as monthly workshops with their parents.
