Latinitas

Empowering girls to create lasting change is at the heart of everything we do. Our Executive Director, Gabriela Kane Guardia, exemplifies this mission. 🦋✨ With her leadership, Latinitas continues to inspire and uplift the next generation of change makers. A moment that stands for Gabriela is, "seeing the creativity and determination of our girls shine during the robotics competition at Engineer Chica camp!" 💜🤖

This fall, our Padres Digitales program bridged the digital divide by teaching media literacy to families, one click at a time! 💻💜 Together, we're building stronger communities with the skills to navigate and thrive in the digital world.🙌✨

This year, you can help empower young Latina leaders to dream big and embrace bright futures in STEM, technology, business, and media. At Latinitas, we’re dedicated to supporting girls and their communities as they navigate an uncertain world. The challenges they face make our mission more vital than ever, and we’re showing up for them every single day. This holiday season, join us in making an impact. Donate now: https://lnkd.in/ghSnJqDN

Our Fall 2024 Workforce Readiness program helped our cohort build professional skills, preparing them for a bright future ahead. We’re so proud of all their hard work and dedication! 🦋✨

We had such a wonderful time celebrating the holidays together as a team! 🎄✨ A special thank you to CONSUELA for surprising the team with beautiful Conseula bags and notebooks! 💜🌟

The Austin Community Foundation Hispanic Impact Fund community and investor voters selected Latinitas to receive a $50,000 multi-year grant. We are delighted to be recognized for our work in the category of job skills and entrepreneurship. The Hispanic Impact Fund invests in organizations that train and equip Latinos with the skills needed to obtain high-demand, living-wage jobs with opportunities for advancement. 🦋✨

Our amazing staff is a big part of what drives success at Latinitas. Meet our Communications Director, Salwa Yordi, who describes her experience with Latinitas as “transformative”. 🦋🌟 One memorable moment for Salwa was “The Purple Party for Chica Power, Rock the Block! This was Latinita's first event after COVID and it was truly special to be volunteering committee chair alongside my sister.” 💜

Happy #ComputerScienceEducationWeek! 💻✨ Computer Science Education Week is an annual call to action to inspire k-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for equity, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field.💜
