Latinas Learning to Lead

To help young Latinas stay in school and be prepared to enter the workforce of the 21st century, NHLI created the Latinas Learning to Lead Program, targeted college-enrolled, 18-24 year old Latinas.
NHLI’s Latinas Learning to Lead Program promotes and fosters the career and educational development of young college-aged Latina leaders through training, mentoring opportunities, and access to national networks and tools to create a community impact through their leadership projects.
