Latina Leaders of Kern County has worked hard to develop a collaborative effort to encourage and educate young Latinas to get involved in the process of finding solutions to issues facing young women, especially Latinas in today's world. By providing the necessary tools, encouraging confidence and collaboration, and unique opportunity for the girls to be exposed to current issues firsthand, we bel
ieve these young ladies will be well equipped with the ability to become our leaders of tomorrow. Participation in this program has allowed many young Latinas to expand their horizons and think beyond the present to establish a brighter future. Past participants have been motivated to run for student council, take action and become involved in issues at their schools that are affecting them, and to look towards the future to plan a career path that may not have been viable to them prior to participation in the program. More importantly, these young women learn that they are in the process of becoming the mentors for the younger generations, and they encourage other students to get involved and participate in the program.
