The Coca-Cola Foundation
In partnership with the Coca-Cola Foundation, we launched the Summer 2022 Cycle of the Latina Entrepreneur Academy (LEA). LEA is a part of the LULAC Women's Empowerment Initiative (WE) designed to train, motivate, and inspire women, espcecially those of Hispanic descent, to succeed in all aspects of life. LEA focuses on providing women with resources and helping them build the skillset necessary to launch or enhance their businesses.
11 sites were awarded for the Summer 2022 cycle and have been given the opportunity to empower Latinas in their community.
For questions on the Latina Entrepreneur Academy, please email our Program Coordinator, Priscilla Garcia, at PGarcia@LULAC.org
