About the Mentoring Program
The Latina Leadership Initiative curriculum promotes heightened awareness of social responsibility and attention to the needs of the local Latino/a/x community, and is based on the principle that development of young Latina leaders enhances our entire community. What makes this program successful is the dedicated mentors that create an all-encompassing experience that allows participants to see exactly how each topic affects them, and how their talents can, in turn, affect change in those areas. Below are some things we focus on throughout the mentoring experience.
Committed
We required mentees to meet with their mentors at least once a month for 1 year via communication method(s) agreed upon between mentor and participant. Your time commitment is dependent on how much time you want to invest.
Compassionate
Participants have the best experience during the leadership program because of mentors who care and support them during their personal and professional development.
Dependable
A dependable and trustworthy mentor is vital to meet the success of our participants during their personal and professional development.
Supportive
A supportive mentor leaves an impact on mentees and build long-lasting relationships. We are also here to support the experience as a mentor.
Diversity
We value diversity in thought, race, gender, and background. Unique perspectives of mentors impact the personal and professional growth of their mentees.
Feedback
Every year, we take the time to ask mentors feedback to make the mentorship program better for participants.
