Thankfully, there are organizations, clubs, and groups whose goal is to make fellow Latino students feel understood, represented, and empowered. The following seven college groups do just that — making a difference on their campus, as well as giving back to the world through philanthropic work.

This year, they aimed to raise $5000 for UNICEF’s efforts in Latin America and the Caribbean. Two notable members of Phi Iota Alpha are former president of Honduras, Carlos Roberto Flores Facussé, and former president of Panama, Eric Arturo Delvalle.
