Based upon this mission, our vision is for inclusive democracy; thriving, diverse communities; and equity and social justice.

Outreach offers experiences that can make significant differences in the lives of its participants.
Proyecto Avance, Latino Mentoring Association (PALMA)
PALMA (Proyecto Avance, Latino Mentoring Association) is a twice-weekly tutoring group that helps Latino students in the Ann Arbor area with their schoolwork, and helps adults with basic English as a Second Language instruction. Our primary goal is to help foster academic excellence by encouraging the students to learn and monitoring their progress. We also hope working in a university environment will promote the importance of a post-secondary education.
