Assistance For Any MISD Student
Latino students, for different reasons, are more likely to not ask for help or assistance when it is needed. Therefore ATLAST will also be available as a resource for staff within the MISD District to contact with issues pertaining to any Latino High school students’ education, health, safety, immigration, and well-being.
In addition, ATLAST will act as a resource for Latino students who want to finish High School and further their education. This resource requires no interview or commitment from students to receive assistance and guidance.

Student Alumni Stories
“ATLAST and Jason had a significant impact on my life. He showed me that there are positive things to pursue, from being pardoned to achieving success. His influence inspired me to spread positivity and help others, especially those going down the wrong path. Thanks to Jason, I have a newfound confidence and motivation to strive for success and help others do the same. I will always be grateful for the impact he had on my life.”
“Jason and ATLAST has had a powerful impact on my life by providing me with opportunities for community service, enabling me to do what I love - singing - and introducing me to the community. He showed me that as Latinos, we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to and that we don't have to remain in the shadows but can shine brightly in the spotlight.”
"All the challenges that come with being an immigrant and a minority threaten to crush my desire to continue my journey. However, thanks to Jason and the ATLAST program, I have grown up to embrace my true values and identity. "
