The LaTEENa Alumni Leadership Program is for Latina students who have previously attended a LaTEENa Conference.
The summer program is based on the text, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey.
The weekly workshops will be held in June and July at Regis University to give students the experience of a university campus environment.
In addition, students will advance their communication and writing skills by participating in the
"Latina Legacy Project." Students will select a Professional Latina from a variety of career fields. They will schedule an interview and will write a summary of the experience.
Annually, the Summer Leadership staff will compile chapters of these interviews, so that the students' individual project becomes a master book: "The AMI Summer Leadership Program: The Latina Legacy Experience."
The mission of Adelante Mujer, Inc. is to sponsor and promote programs dedicated to the inclusion of Latina students in pursuit of higher education, professional career growth, and cultural leadership development.
