What We Do

Whether we are helping Latinos build their financial literacy, explore new workforce opportunities, become environmental stewards or advocate for one’s health, trust and a commitment to equity is at the core of everything we do. Our initiatives, programs and grassroots outreach efforts are aimed at empowering and inspiring individuals to improve themselves and their families and, in turn, strengthen their communities and their country.

Hispanic Access Foundation connects Latinos to opportunity by exposing them to reliable and relevant resources, promoting civic engagement and serving as their trustworthy partner. We have developed extensive, trust-based community networks, including those in communities that are the hardest to reach, that when combined with our robust technology, operations, media and communications platforms guarantees success.

Our ability to cultivate leaders and develop advocates and connect them with our partners ensures long-term successes and systemic change.

Establishing Access

Breaking down barriers, opening doors and clearing the path — Hispanic Access Foundation makes establishing access a top priority. From connecting communities with issue experts and decision-makers to providing firsthand experiences, information, resources and even job opportunities, Hispanic Access helps Latinos throughout the nation access opportunities that help improve their lives, communities and the nation as a whole. For example, our MANO Project provides young Latino professionals with access to internship and fellowship opportunities with various government agencies across the country.

 

Developing Leaders

Not only does Hispanic Access look to develop the skills and capacity of Latinos in order to cultivate their leadership, we also support the rise of their profile and influence as leaders. By providing trainings, information and support, we expose leaders to opportunities that strengthen their capabilities and help position them to have a lasting impact on their communities. For example, our Hispanic Leadership Network provides pastors with an intensive, customized program of leadership training and reflection to better prepare them to lead initiatives and church programs that enhance the vitality of their congregations and serve the unique needs of multigenerational Latino communities.
 

Elevating Voices

As leaders and advocates develop, Hispanic Access strives to provide opportunities to elevate their voices to truly create a sustainable impact throughout the country. Whether connecting leaders with elected officials, helping them share their perspective via the media or starring in one of Hispanic Access' films, ensuring that the Latino community has a platform for their voices to be heard is critical to creating change, guaranteeing equity and preserving cultural heritage. For example, Hispanic Access' conservation program provides leaders with opportunities to meet with decision-makers to encourage support for policies, like the Land and Water Conservation Fund, that provide tremendous benefit to communities nationwide.
