Latinx on the Rise Mentoring Program 2021-22 - Enroll Now

The Latinx on the Rise mentoring program is a small cohort of community leaders from the larger NWA Hispanic Leadership Council. We successfully launched a mentoring program in hopes of connecting with the future generation of community leaders by developing skills in networking and leadership. This is done by having college students mentored by NWA's current stakeholders. We hope to have all involved and look forward to staying connected.
