THE EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM (ELP) IS EDU-FUTURO'S FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, HELPING TO ENSURE THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIDDLE-SCHOOL AND HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS REMAIN ON THE COLLEGE TRACK THROUGHOUT THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION. THE ELP OFFERS A FOUR-STAGE PIPELINE OF SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRANT STUDENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, AND COLLEGE. FIRST, THE ELP STEM ROBOTICS CLUBS ADDRESS THE MINORITY EMPLOYMENT GAP IN HIGH-GROWTH CAREER FIELDS BY HELPING STUDENTS IN GRADES 6-8 INCREASE CONFIDENCE IN STEM SUBJECT AREAS. PARTICIPANTS MEET AFTER SCHOOL TO WORK THROUGH ROBOTICS LESSONS ALIGNED WITH COMMON CORE STANDARDS, AND ARE INTRODUCED TO ELP I AND II. SECOND, ELP I INCREASES COLLEGE READINESS FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-12, ALLOWING THEM TO OVERCOME SYSTEMIC BARRIERS AND ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL. PARTICIPANTS ATTEND WORKSHOPS, ARE MATCHED WITH A MENTOR, PARTICIPATE IN SPEECH AND ACADEMIC COMPETITIONS, VISIT COLLEGE CAMPUSES, AND EXPLORE PROFESSIONS THROUGH A CAREER PANEL. THIRD, ELP II PICKS UP WHERE ELP I LEAVES OFF, SUPPORTING HIGH-SCHOOL SENIORS TO NOT ONLY GAIN ACCEPTANCE TO COLLEGE, BUT ALSO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO GRADUATE WITH POST-SECONDARY DEGREES AND ESTABLISH CAREERS. PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE INTENSIVE ONE-ON-ONE COACHING AND COUNSELING SERVICES THROUGH WEEKLY AFTERSCHOOL MEETINGS. FOURTH, ELP III (NOW IN THE PILOT STAGE) FOCUSES ON PROVIDING INTENSIVE MENTORSHIP AND SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING LOCAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. WITH FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF ELP III, EDU-FUTURO WILL SOON BE ABLE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS FROM THIRD GRADE UNTIL THEY BEGIN THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAREERS.
