About the Fellowship

The LatinxEd Fellowship is a multi-month, immersive leadership development program that equips Latine advocates across North Carolina with the tools to dismantle barriers, advance educational equity, and build a thriving future. Through workshops, coaching, college advising, and mentorship, Fellows gain the skills needed to advance in their education and leadership journeys, strengthen their cultural identity, and drive systemic change in education.

Our Statewide Network

The LatinxEd Fellowship is more than a program—it’s a comunidad.

Our Fellows stay connected long after the program ends, through mentorship, workshops, and leadership opportunities. This intergenerational approach ensures that today’s Fellows become tomorrow’s mentors, building sustainable pathways for Latine leadership in education across North Carolina.

Our Impact

The LatinxEd Fellowship is where dreams turn into action—and community makes it possible. For many Latine leaders, the journey of being the first can feel overwhelming and lonely, but through the Fellowship, they find strength, connection, and purpose. 100% of our youth Fellows are graduating from high school and college, and our professional Fellows are advancing in their careers, increasing their earnings, and building a more sustainable future for themselves and their families.

With a renewed vision and a powerful network by their side, Fellows are stepping boldly into leadership and creating lasting change. Together, we’re transforming education for our comunidades—because we can’t do this alone.

We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams,
now we are the dreamers and the doers.

Rooted in cultura, comunidad, and resilience, we are reimagining what education looks like for our people-together.
