LPLC | History and Program Information | Learn – Practice

An Idea - the Start of a Wonderful Story We began as the Young Latino Filmmakers program, with the idea of helping our nieces and nephews feel more confident about themselves and become successful in school. We started with seven Latino children learning TV production, research, leadership and public speaking in Long Island City, New York. Kids met once a week at our small studio, at SONY Wonder and at the Museum of the Moving Image to learn and practice. Since then we have reached many program goals for undeserved Latino children including admission to Ivy League colleges, in part thanks to your support and partnership.

Our Target Population Our target population are Latino kids, whom we call Hybridkids: Latino children growing up with two or more cultures; and families. She/He is the New Latino Kid - with a mix of leadership, magic, creativity, fun experiences, love of both his cultures, knowledgeable and confident. A believer that all dreams come true, influenced by and proud of his/her Heritage - A Latino Kid Plus, with skills to give him or her more chances to succeed and to stand positively from the crowd. > the Makeup of HybridKids click to read more - HybridKids at a Glance:

A LEADERSHIP DIFFERENCE
Through an educational outreach program, fun, edgy, standards based TV content, and an online platform, HYBRIDKIDS will go beyond the power of television to directly impact at risk Latino kids. A program tailored to the Latino children' specific needs that bring lessons about self-confidence, social studies, communication, Hispanic heritage, health and emotional well into the homes and hands of families and Latino children.

Our multimedia materials and events are full of fun experiences and learning that will reach Latino children across the country - in English as well as Spanish - with the skills and support they need. As our search for new leaders continues nationally, we know the research from our efforts in educating the new Latino child will tell us that the impact on Latino communities Is Fenomenal.

HybridKids Objectives
