How we make a difference
Academic Support
We offer engaging, culturally competent after-school support to students who have interrupted education or who are at risk of falling behind.
Social & Emotional Learning
SEL is at the core of all we do, helping youth learn self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Job Readiness & Workforce Development
We equip our program participants with the competencies, tools, and resources they need to succeed in today’s job market and grow professionally.
About Us
We’re building a stronger Montgomery County by responding to the needs of the county’s growing Latino population. Identity’s primary focus is on assisting in-school and out-of-school Latino youth and their families who live in high poverty areas of Montgomery County and are most at-risk for poor academic and economic life outcomes.
Who We Serve
Latino youth are the bedrock of our community’s future – but many of them face tremendous challenges that severely limit their options and opportunities.At the same time, these youth bring many strengths: love of family, pride in their culture, an eagerness to succeed, and an impressive resilience to forge ahead in spite of the hardships they have endured.
What We Do
We empower Latino youth to reach their full potential and work towards a successful transition into adulthood. Our program areas include academic support, workforce development, gang prevention. parental engagement, and much more. Youth who participate in Identity’s programs are not one-time participants — they become lifelong members of our community.
