White House honors Fresno State Mini-Corps Program
The White House has honored Fresno State’s Mini-Corps Program for narrowing the Latino achievement gap.
The Mini-Corps Program, which recruits Latino teachers and helps migrant students, was recognized in the White House report, “Bright Spots in Hispanic Education.”
The report is an online national catalog that features more than 230 programs and organizations supporting Latinos in education.
Fresno State’s Mini-Corps program is part of the statewide California Mini-Corps Program.
The local program, which began in 1975, has served more than 40,000 migrant students and helped train more than 1,200 teachers.
