The Latina Image Leadership Program builds leaders by inspiring and educating young Latina women ages 13 to 17 to achieve their full potential through the power of sisterhood.
Upon completion of the program, many of the participants will become ambassadors and represent Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center at community and cultural events. This allows them to put into practice the skills and knowledge that they have learned and will carry with them for a lifetime.
The participants will be taken through an intense 6-month course in which they will learn, including Student Voice, Art Expression, Interview Skills, Social Etiquette, Civic Engagement, Positive Self - Image, Personal Development, Academic Responsibility, Social Media Responsibility, Social-Emotional Development, and Elements of: Diction, Dance, Modeling, and Photo-pose.
