Leadership Development

LI is dedicated to developing leadership among young, and mature, Latinas. In partnership with several organizations, leadership training and engagement opportunities are provided throughout the year to empower Latinas to prepare them to be informed, influential, civically-engaged women.

  LI launched a year long partnership with the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity & Reproductive Rights (COLOR) called LIPS (Latinas Increasing Political Strength) with the purpose of targeting young women aged 14 – 21 to become trained advocates. Denver precincts 202 and 203 will be targeted for this project.
