White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative

The order establishes the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative within the Department of Education, led by an Executive Director designated by the Secretary of Education. The Initiative is charged with identifying and promoting effective educational and workforce practices, encouraging public-private partnerships, building a national network of collaborators, monitoring federal programs, and advising the President on Hispanic prosperity. It also creates an Interagency Working Group chaired by the Executive Director and composed of senior officials from relevant agencies to coordinate federal resources.

Separately, the order establishes the President's Advisory Commission on Hispanic Prosperity — up to 20 members appointed by the President, including designated Cabinet officers — to promote job pathways, strengthen Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and advise the President and the Initiative. The Commission must report periodically on progress and terminates two years from the signing date unless the President extends it. The order supersedes Executive Order 13555 of 2010 and a related provision of a 2019 order on federal advisory committees.

Hispanic American students, workers, small business owners, and communities who may benefit from expanded federal attention to educational and economic programs; Hispanic-Serving Institutions; federal agencies directed to participate in the Working Group or provide support to the Initiative; and private-sector partners engaged through the new public-private partnership framework.

Federal attention and interagency coordination around Hispanic American educational and economic programs are reorganized under a new structure. Hispanic-Serving Institutions gain a formal channel for engaging federal agencies, and communities may see new grant-eligible partnerships and workforce pathways emerge from Commission recommendations.

The Secretary of Education designates the Executive Director, who simultaneously leads the Initiative and serves as Executive Director of the Commission. All executive agencies must provide information and assistance upon the Secretary's request. The Commission holds regular meetings set by its Chair and Vice Chairs, reports to the President through the Secretary, and includes both outside experts and Cabinet designees. The Department of Education funds and staffs both bodies. The Commission sunsets automatically at two years unless the President acts to extend it; no enforcement mechanism for agency non-compliance is specified beyond the general requirement to cooperate.
