Latinas on the Rise is run solely by volunteers. You can help in important ways.

Be a mentor
If you are interested in being a mentor, please fill out this form. If you know someone who would make a great mentor, send them a link to this website. We have participants with interests ranging from medicine to law to graphic design to journalism. We need mentors in all areas. Each semester, we have about 10 participants in the program. While we might not have a match for you this semester, we will definitely keep your contact information for future semesters.

We ask mentors to meet with their participants a minimum of three times per semester. Meetings are scheduled between the two of you. We ask that mentors be willing to share honest information about what it is like to be a Latina in their profession, salary levels, time commitments, etc. We act as your support and try to help guide the mentorship process while allowing you to develop a relationship on your own terms. The only scheduled event that we ask mentors to attend is the closing dinner. The dinner is a chance for you to say goodbye to your participant and our way of thanking you for your time.
