LLT Welcomes
New Board Members
This fall's LLT Board Open House led to a lot of interest and some exciting additions to the Board of Directors. We are happy to announce that we have welcomed three new Board members to the fold as we lose two in the end of 2020. Board members are essential to helping develop the strategic direction of programs and initiatives that align with LLT's mission. Board members also serve as leads to each of our Committees. This year, we welcome representation with a mix of experience and professional background. To meet our newest Board members, please click HERE.

Congratulations to the LLT Class of 2020!
This time of year is when LLT volunteers, LLT C.O.R.E. coordinators, Madrinas and Board members get an opportunity to congratulate and honor our LLT high school graduates. The spring semester has proven to be a test of resilience, patience and integrity for the Class of 2020. Listed are the higher ed institutions where our LLT graduates will be attending in the fall. Below is a link on Facebook to a video that the Board of Directors created to share a message of praise and encouragement. We are so proud of our LLT graduates!
¡Oportunidad para aprender sobre ciencias y conocer a mentoras para estudiantes del sexto al octavo grado!
Latinas Leading Tomorrow, una organización sin fines de lucro, está ofreciendo un programa libre de costo llamado Latina Labs, para niñas de 11 a 13 años de edad que estén en la escuela intermedia, del sexto (6to) al octavo (8vo) grado (si las niñas van a comenzar el sexto grado, también pueden participar en Latina Labs). El propósito de Latina Labs es enseñar y exponer a las niñas a oportunidades en Ciencias, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Arte. El programa se llevará a cabo en tres sábados en junio (5, 12 y el 19) de 11 am a 12:30 pm y tendremos invitadas especiales que ofrecerán charlas sobre sus historias y temas relacionados con las actividades manuales en las que las niñas participarán. Estas actividades manuales les brindarán a las niñas la oportunidad de hacer y aprender más a fondo sobre un tema en particular de las ciencias. Latinas Leading Tomorrow proveerá algunos de los materiales que serán necesarios para las actividades manuales. También, las niñas tendrán la oportunidad de conocer mentoras con las que ellas puedan relacionarse y motivarse a alcanzar sus metas. El espacio es limitado a 30 niñas del área de D.C., MD y VA. Por favor compartan esta oportunidad con sus amistades o familiares.
Si tienen cualquier pregunta sobre el programa, también pueden contactar a la Dra. Teresa Ramírez, enviando un email a teresa@latinasleadingtomorrow.org. La Dra. Ramírez conoce la importancia de estos tipos de oportunidades y es una científica latina del área del DMV. Ella y la mesa directiva de Latinas Leading Tomorrow desean que más niñas se motiven a participar para aprender y continuar careras en las ciencias.
