About

Con Mi MADRE began in November 1992 through the efforts of The Junior League of Austin, Inc. and the University of Texas at Austin. Con Mi MADRE strives to facilitate the academic and personal success of Hispanic girls by providing information and support services to them and their mothers, in order to prepare the students for college.

Con Mi MADRE serves 6th-12th grade girls and their mothers. Girls are actively recruited in the 5th grade through recommendations from their elementary school counselors and teachers. Recommended students demonstrate academic potential and/or could benefit from academic/personal support services. Priority status is given to potential first-time college graduates and is on a first come/first served basis; group size is limited. All services provided by Con Mi MADRE are at no cost to participants because of the generous contributions received from program funders.
