Latino Leadership Initiative
6602 202nd St SW Suite 300, Lynnwood, WA 98036
425-775-2688Vision and Mission
We seek to train college students to be leaders, not only in words but in action. In our first 13 years, 299 students graduated the program, and their service projects benefited additional hundreds of younger students in junior and senior high schools.
The Institute requires projects to assist the community with real and tangible results. We will emphasize helping college students to graduate from high school, because too many Latino kids are dropping out of school, and that affects the future of entire families.
This program aims to teach our youth to be multiplying agents, i.e. not only worry about their own betterment, but also the personal and social development of the people who surround them. A true leader inspires others to be better.

Most original content is in English, but the underlying system supports Spanish as well; the level of multilingual support depends in part on your system and browser settings. Bilingualism creates opportunity; we encourage you to support it!
Projects and Collaboration
Each term student leaders form groups and define projects, usually of a community service, and usually involving youth either in schools or the broader community. This website facilitates communication among members of the groups using our social network, our blog/newsletter, and our forums.
Activities
We will hold training seminars to learn to be leaders and complete a community project to demonstrate the power of leadership by action. Various stipends and prizes will be awarded to the most successful participants. We also will have social activities to introduce the project to the entire community.
