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.
