Barrio Logan College Institute’s main priority is to positively impact the reality of young people and the trajectory of their futures. Young people who participate in our programs, starting in 3rd grade, are on their path to College, guaranteed. To date, 100% of our participants have enrolled in College.
We continue to support our participants, by providing the support they need, so they can achieve their academic goals. It is more important now than ever, for young people to maintain a sense of normalcy, to continue on their path to College and to earn their degree.
Research shows that low academic levels are associated with poverty, crime, low civic engagement and poor health outcomes. We understand the responsibility that we have, and the need for our services, in order to fulfill our mission of Breaking the Cycle of Poverty of those we serve.
Barrio Logan is the home of the Barrio Logan College Institute headquarters, and home to our Barrio Logan location. Barrio Logan is a primarily Latino community near downtown San Diego with rich cultural heritage and history.
