Primos Dallas: Where mentorship becomes familia for latino youth
What if your mentor felt more like family? For Alicia Serrato, founder of Primos Dallas, that’s exactly the idea. As a first-generation American who had to navigate school on her own, Alicia knows how powerful it can be to have guidance and support. That’s why she created Primos Dallas, a mentorship program that not only connects students with mentors who share their cultural values but also empowers students by giving them a voice in the process. At Primos, mentees get to choose their mentors—creating stronger bonds and setting the stage for personal growth.
We connected with Alicia to hear about how the power of choice has turned shy students into confident leaders, why family should always be at the heart of mentorship, and how the program blends the strength of Latino family values with the tools for success. Get ready to hear about the journey of students like Josue, whose life was transformed through the guidance of Primos.
