It Takes a Village and A Lot of Work and Dedication with Andy Canales - Social Entrepreneur, Educator & Activist, EP #128
As our team has been looking for excellent Latinos to speak at Latin Talks, we found Andy Canales and I was so impressed with him. I wanted to have him on the podcast so that you can hear his story of what it looks like to create success for Latinos in the U.S.
Andy Canales was the Greater Houston Founding Executive Director at Latinos for Education, an education non-profit organization focused on developing and placing Latino talent in the education sector. Andy worked with a wide range of non-profits to increase Latino leadership in their organizations through two Latino leadership fellowships. The goal of the organization is to train 150 Latino leaders over the next five years to be at the forefront of leading education change in Houston through service on education nonprofit boards and senior education roles. Previously, Andy worked in education as a corporate philanthropy manager, nonprofit director, and teacher. Andy is on the board of TEACH and also chairs the Latino Texas PAC, a nonpartisan organization that elects the next generation of Latino leaders in Texas politics. As the son of Salvadoran immigrants and the first one in his family to graduate from college, Andy is passionate about expanding educational equity.
