Executive Program

The National Hispana Leadership Institute has developed a four-week intensive leadership training program which spans nine months and is implemented in four different cities in the United States. The first session is held in California and focuses on community building, support networks, diversity and cross cultural communication. The second session is held at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and the third training is held at the Center for Creative Leadership. The final session, in Washington, D.C.,explores the national political agenda with emphasis on policy development, the legislative process and meetings with congressional representatives. In addition, each participant mentors two Hispanic women for at least two years and develops a leadership project that will benefit a minimum of 25 young Latina youth and/or women. To date, over 400 Hispanas have completed the program.
