The primary goal of our organization is to empower Latinos with the personal and professional development tools and strategies to achieve their American Dream and become successful role models to future generations of Americans. Our approach incorporates clear and specific goals that enable Hispanics to develop a positive self-image, take responsibility for their own success, and embrace education as the cornerstone of self-reliance.

We invite corporations and foundations to join us in this mission. The sponsorship opportunities incorporate far more than the usual high-profile marketing communications, brand exposure, and media coverage benefits. LIDER programs are not only an investment of your corporate dollars but investment in future generations of Latino leaders.

Because the programs are all designed to be modular, we offer a great deal of flexibility in tailoring them to the states, cities, communities, or messages within the sponsors’ area of interest. Programs that are implemented in collaboration with local Latino organizations offer public recognition for sponsors and can build long-term relationships and national cross-platform partnerships.

The LIDER Difference

Quite simply, LIDER programs are designed to have a long-term positive effect on Latino communities. As such, they offer businesses the opportunity to showcase their commitment to diversity and leadership, as well as to create unparalleled image recognition in the fastest growing market in the nation.

In addition to utilizing a full complement of media opportunities, LIDER programs are enhanced with a unique, value-added component. Not only to sponsors receive regular radio, print, on-line and banner coverage for LIDER events, they will be providing the community with the following:
