According to a recent National Hispanic Latina Institute release:

Program Designed to Tackle the Scarcity of Leaders of Color in the Nonprofit Sector in the Next Decade, Set to Start, Online Applications and Recruitment Opens in March

…NHLI is launching the ALL IN Program (Advancing Latina Leadership in Nonprofits), targeted to emerging leaders 24-34 years of age. The Program seeks to prepare, promote and sustain the next generation of nonprofit leaders by helping young Latina professionals develop their leadership and management skills, find their voice as effective community leaders, and build their external networks; and by providing access to role models and mentors.

It is estimated that the nonprofit sector will need about 500,000 new senior managers in the next 10-15 years. But the leadership pipeline is seriously lacking for Latinos. Hispanics total about 15% of the US population and are expected to exceed 30% by the year 2050, yet Hispanics account for about 4% of leadership positions in nonprofit organizations.
