Who We Are

We are a non-for profit organization dedicated to giving vision, direction, and structure to young Latinas. Our mission is to become a powerful catalyst for Latinas ages 15-25 to pursue their dreams by providing educational leadership platforms, mentorship, and powerful experiences through the context of sisterhood.  Founded in September 2014, we quickly began impacting participants through the CORE program, and by giving back to the local community.  Our goal is to continue to spread the wings of the foundation nationwide and globally in the years to come.

 

What We Do

THE FOUR STEPS TO LATINA LEADERSHIP

The four step program empowers Latinas to pursue their passion and activate their dreams by providing educational leadership platforms, mentorship and powerful experiences through a context of sisterhood.

ACTIVATE

Our CORE PROGRAM allows young Latinas to create a solid foundation through identifying and studying the 8 fig factors based on The Fig Factor book (discovery, wisdom, humility, persistence, vulnerability, vision, awareness and passion) in the 2?day course.

RECEIVE

Our MENTOR PROGRAM provides each graduate with a female mentor that will support them for six months with monthly meetings and regular check?in calls. Our volunteer mentors are part of a team of caring adults that bring new ideas, encourage positive development and help participants define their goals and identify action to take. Graduates become accountable through sustaining support.

GROW

Each graduate takes part in the SUPPORT PROGRAM. The program includes access to new experiences through scholarships and local partnerships. This step creates a connection between the graduate, the community and its opportunities. The results are expanded network and circle of influence.

SHARE

There’s power in passion and commitment. Our GIVE BACK PROGRAM allows each graduate to make a difference in their lives by supporting causes that matter most to them. This empowering step is a chance to pay it forward and improve our world. It is also a key to becoming a successful citizen in our society and expanding the possibilities for our future Latina leaders.
