Tutoring: Verde K-8

Latinos In Action x Verde Elementary: A Year of Culture, Connection, and Community

This year, our Latinos In Action tutoring program leveled up in the best way possible. Partnering with Verde Elementary’s amazing L‑8 students, our tutors brought learning to life—whether on campus or through virtual sessions that felt anything but distant. Together, we built a space where academics, culture, and confidence grew side by side. What made this year truly special was how our tutors infused every session with the heart of Hispanic history, culture, and heritage. Students didn’t just learn what to think—they learned who they are.

We celebrated stories from across Latin America, highlighted leaders who shaped history, and connected lessons to real cultural pride. Even in virtual learning, our screens lit up with energy—students sharing traditions, favorite foods, family stories, and the languages that make our community rich and vibrant.

By the end of the year, Verde’s L‑8 students were more confident, more connected, and more proud of their identity. And our LIA tutors walked away knowing they made a real impact, one session, one smile, and one story at a time.
