The purpose of this certificate program is to develop a cadre of Latin@ LGBT and ally leaders who participate in a training program series to develop and acquire skills in becoming competent in representing the community and its needs as a leader and representative of the community.

 

The certificate program was developed through a collaboration with GLAAD, AGUILAS, Alliant International University, and the Rockway Institute of Alliant.
