LATINAS LEADING TOMORROW
Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) promotes positive Latina identity and empowerment through leadership skills. LLT helps teens recognize their own leadership capacities and their potential impact on the Latino community and beyond. Participants are encouraged to apply what they learned to encourage leadership among their peers, thereby building other student’s leadership abilities.
The program provides services to female students ages 11-18 who are of Hispanic origin; many are the first in their family who aspire to attend college. Through faculty and community support, LLT provides a comprehensive environment of intellectual, social, and cultural experiences designed to meet the needs of emerging Latina leaders at the middle and high school level. LLT focuses on the student as a whole and teaches them to consider their physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs by providing them with factual information, counseling, mentoring, and skill-building opportunities.
