COMMUNITY BUILDING
& EDUCATION

โ€‹La Paz provides a wide variety of educational support and wealth building opportunities for our local Latino students, families, and small businesses. The topics range from career skills to civic education. We also provide community classes focused on cultivating and retaining elements of Latin American culture within our city.

Career Readiness & Workforce Development

โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

Small Business Support

  • Fundamentos Empresariales, a cohort-style 12-week class to equip entrepreneurs with essential skills and knowledge to grow and sustain their small business.
     

  • Monthly Business Seminars, offered for burgeoning entrepreneurs or those with a business idea who want to take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey.

Asset & Wealth Building

We partner with Latino professionals and small business owners to offer financial literacy education as it relates to wealth building and smart money decisions. Topics include:

  • Banking & credit

  • Life insurance & estate planning

  • Homeownership & tenant best practices

Community Engagement

Without support, students and families can experience stress that have long-term negative effects on their health and wellness. Our Community Engagement programs shape supportive relationships in ways that are culturally respectful and relevant to their overall health.
