The National Hispanic Institute (NHI) and DishLATINO are joining
forces to promote leadership and education among the next
generation of young Latinos in the U.S.
Starting this week, DishLATINO has begun contributing
advertising time on nearly 30 top Spanish language networks to tell
the story of NHI and its mission to engage achieving high school
and college students in community leadership roles.
“Our partnership with NHI is a natural fit given our shared
values, particularly a commitment to education and the Latino
community,” said Alfredo Rodriguez, vice president of DishLATINO.
“Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month we’ve had a chance to celebrate
staying connected to our culture, and now with this campaign we
look ahead to building the next generation of Latino leaders.”
“DishLATINO shares our goal of investing in programs for the
high school students who will go on to define and shape the future
of our communities,” said Nicole Sada, executive vice president of
policy and advancement at NHI. “Through this partnership we look
forward to the chance to transform the lives of even more students
who wish to lead a vibrant and talented global Latino
community.”
Founded more than 37 years ago, NHI invests in students through
educational programs, civic engagement and an emphasis on community
service. The academic success rate of NHI alumni is high, with 90%
of alumni graduating from college and another 67% continuing on to
graduate studies. As these graduates go on to pursue careers, NHI
encourages them to remain connected to the Latino community and
help mentor the next generation of leaders.
The ad spot educating DishLATINO customers about NHI can be
found here as it airs (Spanish only) and here with English
subtitles. DishLATINO also developed a promotional video for NHI’s
use which can be found here.
The campaign announced today aligns with DISH’s broader
corporate citizenship program, DISH Cares, which fosters community
engagement with an emphasis on STEM education and workforce
development.
