FedEx is a proud sponsor of the UnidosUS Escalera Programs, a portfolio of educational programs that seeks to promote educational attainment, career planning, and access to information for Latinos. The programs provide Latino youth with opportunities, resources, and support by implementing personal development, along with college and career readiness curricula with a national network of community-based organizations and charter schools.
