During the past twelve years, young Latinos have emerged as a population with incredible strengths as well as many challenges. Since 1997, The National Latino Children's Institute (NLCI) has served as a champion and voice for young Latinos by advocating on behalf of young Latinos, creating innovative programs, working with community-based organizations and spearheading El Dia de los Ninos - Celebrating Young Americans.

NLCI's mission is to focus the nation's attention on the contributions and challenges of young Latinos by advocating for their success and well being through partnerships and programs.

NLCI envisions communities and a nation where young Latinos are heard, valued and a priority for the future of our nation.
