LatinX student enrollments in community colleges in the United States are rapidly growing, yet LatinX student success rates have not matched this growth. There is a need for community college programs that serve LatinX student populations more effectively and incorporate multicultural educational practices. Using Anzaldúa's Mestiza consciousness theory, this study analyzed community learning "testimonios" written by Latin American movement leaders and identified common themes applicable to a process of critical consciousness development in critical educational programs. The themes common across the four "testimonios" were: (1) collective motivation for learning; (2) organizational dynamics, practices, and values; (3) critical social consciousness; and (4) transcendent communal awareness of identity.
