About the Program

VALHEN addresses a need for Virginians to have a strong voice and a medium through which they can advocate for the success of its Latino community. As this population continues to grow, VALHEN’s unique role becomes increasingly important regarding its educational access and opportunities, and the inherent socioeconomic contributions connected with educational achievements. VALHEN and its members are changing the face of the Commonwealth by ensuring that Latinos are visible, are supported, and are on their way to higher education and achievement.
