Mission

Altera leverages the inherent assets (heritage language, work ethic, intergenerational networks, family cohesion, and lived experience) of rural students and their communities, to help them achieve ambitious outcomes (diplomas, degrees, employment, economic well-being) through education.
Altera finds, develops and shares low cost/high impact solutions for students and families in communities farthest from educational justice, including migrant, immigrant, asylum-seekers, offering innovative services birth to postsecondary access in the US and beyond.
