(July 10, 2006)--UTSA students in the Community Leadership Seminar recently took a field trip to San Juan, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley to visit Proyecto Azteca and other organizations that help low-income colonia residents with affordable housing, micro-loans and community development.
The Community Leadership Seminar is part of the Latino Financial Issues Program (LFIP), a UTSA-community partnership project that teaches undergraduate and graduate students about policies and practices involved in small-scale economic development in the United States. The year-long, integrated course of study and service-learning promotes wealth and asset building in the Latino community.
