    Description

    In 2021, the New York State Mentoring Program (NYSMP) launched the Latina Mentoring Initiative (LMI). The goal of the initiative is to level the playing field for young Latinas and to create a community where success looks like our youth. The unique focus of this initiative is to connect Latina mentors with Latina mentees to empower and support the youth by promoting self-advocacy, building soft skills and confidence, and nurturing aspirations.

    We are partnering with City Polytechnic High School to launch a new program which focuses on young Latinas currently in high school at our Downtown offices.
