So many of these students have a difficult time transitioning back into school and need the support from their medical team and educators to ensure educational success. This clinic helps to bridge the gap between physicians and schools by providing educational information and support to parents , students, and teachers as needed. We will also pilot an internship program this fall for special education students at ASU to provide them with a community-based experience at the clinic working with families, students, educators, and physicians.

People need to understand that human trafficking is different that smuggling, and that those individuals that are trafficked are really modern day slaves. There needs to be an end to this type of human abuse and by raising awareness, hopefully these abuses can be ended forever.

AGUILA Youth Leadership Institute is a year-round college access/prep program designed to educate, elevate and motivate Latino students to aspire to the college experience leading to a degree. AGUILA recruits students beginning in the 10th grade to begin a comprehensive and holistic approach to college preparation that continues to high school graduation, undergrad and graduate school. Next year, 9th graders will begin to transtiion into the program with the vision of ultimately starting at the 7th grade. AGUILA builds a web of support by collaborating with other agencies to provide resourcs to students and their families as well as partnering with insitutions across the country to provide students with information, resources and choices. AGUILA students enjoy the support from their friends, family and their extended familia in AGUILA - a true village that has had proven success in bringing community together with the goal of developing leaders who are educated both in mind, body and spirit. The Symposium plays a critical role in helping the students to bond together and to experience personal and community success. We utilize this event as a foundation on which to build each student's success but also to create new vision for the families that we serve. This year will include another first in the Parent University Series which will include a tour, student/parent/staff panel and more. Students will particiapte in various sessions and interactive workshops that will help them to connect the dots in creating their college journey. Sample college courses provided by University Professors will help to provide a real view of what to expect in college. AGUILA prides itself in developing the kind of leadership that will embrace Cesar Chavez's philosophy of service to others - one where personal success includes community participation. Together - we can change the world - SI SE PUEDE - YES WE CAN - YES WE ARE!!!

It inspired me and I know it will impact the lives of so many people. My brother-in-law fought in Iraq and he came back a different person. I sent him Clint's book. My dad was a Vietnam Vet and suffered so much after the war. He couldn't shake the nightmares, just couldn't. So thank you for bringing Clint's story to us -- and I wish you well. I encourage all Americans to read this book! Steve, what a touching story. It inspired me and I know it will impact the lives of so many people.
