More Latinos in the Board Room
Currently, fewer than 3% of Latinos serve on nonprofit boards in Silicon Valley. We saw that as an urgent call to action. Our Latino Board Leadership Academy recruited, trained and guided Latinos to serve on local boards—an essential step to ensuring that invaluable and underrepresented voices are heard.
Although the program has sunsetted, many Academy Alumni now serve on nonprofit boards throughout Silicon Valley making a difference for our community.

Latino professionals interested in making a difference in Silicon Valley joined the Latino Board Leadership Academy (LBLA) to learn how to support a nonprofit organization.
- A 10-week hybrid program on the foundational skills needed to succeed as an effective nonprofit board member.
- Met with various nonprofit organizations who were actively seeking to diversify and enhance the representation of the community on their board through our Board Match Night event.
- Joined a network of over 600 committed fellows and participated in alumni events.
