In 1998, Edu-Futuro was founded by immigrant parent leaders in partnership with Arlington Public Schools in response to the need for academic enrichment and leadership development services for low-income immigrant youth and families. In the past two decades, Edu-Futuro has grown to become a multicultural community organization providing educational services to a diverse group of more than one thousand children, youth, and families annually in Northern Virginia. To help address the disparities facing immigrant youth and families across our region, Edu-Futuro offers life-changing programs that empower under-resourced youth and families through our education, leadership development, and after-school enrichment initiatives. Edu-Futuro’s core programs focus on education as the most important tool for advancing socioeconomic mobility among immigrant families. Our mission: Empowering under-resourced immigrant youth through education, leadership development, and family engagement, to become the next generation of professionals who transform their communities.

Such a heartwarming day volunteering with team Guidehouse at Edu-Futuro’s all day learning event for 6th-12th grade students and their parents. We met some very ambitious students and got our steps in walking groups from session to session on Marymount University’s campus. What a great community Edu-Futuro is building.

We are overjoyed to announce that Edu-Futuro’s public service television series, Línea Directa, has won an Emmy Award in the category of Societal Concerns - Long Form Content. Our winning episode, ‘Tras la Sombra del Fentanilo,’ addresses the pressing issue of drug overdoses among youth in the Washington region. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, including Eduardo López, Andrea Sarralde, Nestor Bravo, and Bienvenido Martínez. We are grateful for this recognition and remain committed to using our platform to raise awareness and drive meaningful change.

Guidehouse served as a Patron sponsor for the 2024 Edu-Futuro Annual Gala. I had the privilege to attend with my colleagues and fellow Guidehouse LatinX Inclusion Network members, Emily Berriz, PMP, Ariana Delgado, and Alex Dulin. The night was incredibly uplifting and inspiring as we engaged with Edu-Futuro families, students, and sponsors. Edu-Futuro serves more than 2,500 families every year, including children, youth, and adults through its programs—the Emerging Leaders Programs (STEM Robotics Clubs, Emerging Leaders Program Part I: Leadership and Career Exploration, Part II: College Application, Financial Aid and Scholarships, Part III: College Students Support), Parent Empowerment Services, Case Management and Workforce Development Services. Very grateful to Guidehouse for continuing to partner with Edu-Futuro and looking forward to our continued partnership. Proud to be #TeamGuidehouse! #inclusionanddiversity #LatinXleaders #guidehouse

Bravo for an excellent gala, Edu-Futuro which helps students build a path to first generation college success! Part of that path includes helping parents navigate the US school system. I was so excited to meet the scholarship recipients— especially Alexandra Arispe! She is a student at my high school alma mater West Springfield High School and wants to be a nurse— which I 100% know this motivated young woman will do! The support from Dominion Energy and all the sponsors makes a huge impact on these young people and their families. Congratulations Edu-Futuro on 26 years of impactful service to immigrant youth and families! Great job to the emcee Juliana Valencia from NBC4 Washington, keynote speaker Melody Gonzales and Executive Director Jorge E. Figueredo Scott Price Gaston Araoz
