Latin Americans Working for Achievement (LAWA) is a non-profit organization based in Charlotte, NC, dedicated to advancing the education and quality of life for Latinos in the region. With a focus on providing scholarships and college and career readiness programs, LAWA aims to empower local families and promote self-sufficiency and integration within the community and workforce.
Founded in 1992 as the Latin American Women's Association, LAWA has evolved to reflect the diverse populations it serves, changing its name to Latin Americans Working for Achievement in 2017. Through collaborations with educational institutions and corporate partners, LAWA delivers scholarships, workshops, and mentorship programs that support high school completion, post-secondary education, and undergraduate completion, with the goal of closing academic achievement gaps and increasing the number of Latino students pursuing higher education.
