The Hispanic Educational Summits are an initiative of the NCSHP to promote and distribute information on the benefits of formal and higher education. The Summit features workshops and technical presentations by Hispanic and non-Hispanic professionals, and exhibits by community colleges and universities, and other educational organizations. All NCSHP members are expected to be active participants in the Summit, and in its planning stages. 

An educational conference for teachers and school administrators, organized by the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals (NCSHP), in partnership with Meredith College and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The conference is part of the NCSHP's Stay in School Campaign.

We are seeking Hispanic professionals to mentor Hispanic students in grades 5-8. Once you have committed, a student will be selected for you to mentor based on compatibility. An 8 to 10 hour per month commitment is required.

NCSHP is looking for volunteers to participate as tutors to Hispanic/Latino students in middle and high school during the school year.
