Latinos United In Action Center (LUAC) was born out of caring, frustration, a desire for real change, and a philosophy based on the belief that “education creates the future.”  For that reason we feel that the concept of “continuous quality improvement” currently being applied in corporate planning is also appropriate in educational planning.

 Latinos United In Action Center (LUAC) is a non-profit educational organization committed to the integration, encouragement and support of the academic learning and daily lives of the youth in our inner-city communities helping make a post-secondary education more accessible.

The center offers educational services to enhance the depth and scope of the regular school curriculum.  Complimentary resources and networking opportunities will foster the exchange of classroom-tested ideas and best practices for the enhancement of skills to which the student has already been exposed.
