Since 1988, the National Hispana Leadership Institute has trained over 400 Latinas to become leaders of this country. NHLI's unique cutting-edge program builds on the "Latina" strengths and the development of skills necessary to confront the challenges they will face as leaders. NHLI has developed, trained and mentored Latinas to become ethical world leaders, through an intensive four week leadership training program. The institute addresses public policy development, community building, management, organizational and leadership skills that are needed to succeed in our competitive world.

The program spans nine months and is implemented in four different sites. In addition, each alumna mentors two Hispanic women for two years and develops a leadership project that will benefit a minimum of 25 Hispanic girls and/ or women. A maximum of 22 fellows are selected each year from a cross the country, through a comprehensive application and interviewing process.
