Currently, fewer than 3% of Latinos serve on nonprofit boards in Silicon Valley. We see that as an urgent call to action. Our Latino Board Leadership Academy recruits, trains and guides Latinos to serve on local boards—an essential step to ensuring that invaluable and underrepresented voices are heard.
If you are a Latino professional interested in making a difference in Silicon Valley and you have considered supporting a nonprofit organization with your talents, the Latino Board Leadership Academy (LBLA) may be for you!
The Latino Board Leadership Academy will host two cohorts in 2024:
Class XXVI applications are now closed. Class XXVI will take place from April 3rd, 2024 to June 2nd, 2024.
Class XXVII applications open on July 1, 2024, and close on July 19, 2024. Class XXVII takes place from July 31, 2024, to October 2, 2024.
Board Match Night allows nonprofit representatives to meet qualified LBLA fellows eager to serve on a nonprofit board. It’s an excellent opportunity to learn about each other and evaluate a potential fit.
The next Board Match Night will take place on May 29, 2024, from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm in-person in Santa Clara, CA. – Limited spots available.
If you can’t attend the May Board Match Night, mark your calendar for September 25, 2024, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm in Santa Clara, CA.
What to expect during Board Match Night:
Our leadership development academy reflects the importance of diversifying non-profit board governance, ensuring Latino voices are heard and included in decision-making processes, and contributing to a more diverse and inclusive nonprofit sector.
