Our mission is to empower students on their journeys to and through college so they can fulfill their remarkable potential. Through individualized coaching and culturally relevant programming, LUCA guides academically talented students to enroll in colleges that align with their financial and academic needs. A six-year program, LUCA remains with students from college admissions through completion, providing support to ensure they graduate ready to enter their chosen careers.  Founded in 2012 by Shirley Acevedo Buontempo, LUCA was created to address the inequities first-generation students face in accessing and succeeding in higher education. As a first-generation Latina herself, Shirley is passionate about the transformative power of education and is committed to helping Latino students achieve their dreams through higher education. What began as a pilot program in one local high school with two LUCA Scholars has evolved into a recognized leader in college access and success, with an annual revenue exceeding $2 million. Her vision has expanded the organization's services to partner in eight Westchester County High Schools, delivering programs to over 7,000 parents and students and supporting over 600 LUCA Scholars annually.
