Our Programs

As the Latino Caucus Institute embarks on its mission and helps chart the future course of California it will focus its energy and resources on six key strategic goals during its first five years


  1. Support public policy research that will help create robust public dialogue on critical issues and provide an online public policy clearinghouse for other initiatives;  

  2. Establish the Richard G. Polanco Public Policy Fellows Program, an intensive, yearlong public policy and leadership development program that will produce highly-trained and capable leaders for key sectors of society; 

  3. Create an internship program, a three-month internship that will integrate training and mentoring for a cross-section of both at-risk youth (especially the lower 20 percent) and achievers interested in public service; 

  4. Present public policy symposia to include an annual Institute policy retreat, bi-annual corporate public policy briefings, an annual gala dinner, quarterly roundtable breakfasts, and an annual family picnic; 

  5. Build an Endowment Fund to provide financial independence, greater ownership of resources, increased capacity, and long-term sustainability; 

  6. Form corporate resource partnerships focused on problem-solving at the local level and at the highest levels to support public policy research, public symposia, publications, and other collaborative opportunities.
