Facilitating partnerships with Hispanic/Latino communities in Missouri

REGIONAL PRESENTATIONS

Alianzas staff travels to each of the eight University of Missouri Extension regions to meet with faculty and staff and draw attention to the demographic changes that have occurred, and continue to occur, throughout Missouri; promote Hispanic/Latino cultural awareness and sensitivity; and encourage partnerships with Alianzas to facilitate Hispanic/Latino community development.

As a result, University of Missouri Extension and its campus partners will be afforded the opportunity to learn about current issues, best practices, and cultural information regarding the Hispanic/Latino population; enhance existing programs and/or more easily develop new programs for broader audiences and apply them to research purposes; and identify not only the challenges that both Missouri's Hispanic/Latino communities and stakeholders encounter, but also the means necessary to accommodate them.
