Non-Profit Sponsorship
DFW non-profits do transformational work in the community. They empower, uplift, and equip families and students with the resources and services needed. At the LLI our work centers on preparing leaders for the boardroom starting at the middle school level. Partnering our local non-profits is mutually beneficial so the leaders can go back to their organizations equipped with the tools and resources needed to make themselves, the organization, and community stronger. Leaders from the following non-profits have attended our programming in a sponsored capacity:
- Brother Bill’s Helping Hand – whose mission is serve "the Dallas community by ensuring the essentials of life, empowering through learning, and enriching relationships through faith, family, fitness, and finance."
- Readers 2 Leaders –whose mission is "to equip students for success through the power of reading."
"Attending this course has equipped me with the essential tools, skills, and resources to excel in my role and beyond. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and eager to start applying what I've learned in my daily life." — Maria Tovar, Social Services Director, Brother Bill’s Helping Hand
- Bachman Lake Together –whose mission is "to unity the Bachman Lake community to fully prepare children for kindergarten - academically, socially, and emotionally"
- Professional Opportunity Connection for All – whose mission is "to uplift immigrants towards financial equity by connection education, skill development, and resources."
"The RLLP was impactful because of its focus on the whole person and human-centered approach. Through the sessions and conversations, I uncovered aspects of mi culturalatina that both shape and enhance my leadership style. I ended the program with a strengthened sense of self as a bicultural leader. I am grateful to those who sponsored me in this program. As a member of the non-profit world, my participation would not have been possible without them. Now, I share this experience with my community!" — Teresa Miranda-Martinez, Program Manager, Readers 2 Leaders
