LEAP
Latina Economic Advancement Program
LEAP was created to begin to address the disproportionate impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic had on Latinas. There are two components of the program (LEAP: Financial Literacy Seminars and LEAP: Workforce Development Seminars), both focusing on increasing economic stability and supporting Latinas as they navigate the evolving workplace. Keep scrolling to learn more about each component and be sure to attend our end of the program career fair; Futura Fest.
