The purpose of Leading Latina is to create resources for advancement and provide scholarship opportunities for high school students throughout Southwest Florida.
Leading Latina is a non-formal and cooperative educational resource organized to advance and promote the personal/professional growth and leadership of its members and women within the Hispanic community.
Seeing a need for programs, academic resources, and scholarship opportunities through nonprofit work in Southwest Florida, Leading Latina, Inc was founded by a second-generation Cuban American woman. It was her mission to provide a solution for EVERY student in the community with a focus on Hispanic women.
As a Latina, she wanted to pave the way for the generations to come to be successful in every avenue they pursued. Her goal was to focus on the whole person by providing programs and resources both personally and professionally so they had every chance at success. That drive and fire are what fueled and kicked off her passion project, Leading Latina!
“People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess, is STRENGTH.”
- Zoe Saldana
Our mission is to empower the next generation and future leaders in the community we serve. Our organization seeks to empower its members and women in the Hispanic community to break down barriers while providing a path through a society built on growth, empowerment & conviction.
