Minnesota Latino Leadership Alliance (MiLLA) will complete a planning process to develop an infrastructure for Latine-led and Latine-serving organizations to collaborate on issues important to the Latino community throughout the state. To do this, they will complete an assessment and coordinate communication among members to implement a shared infrastructure for policy advocacy and civic engagement that is highly valued by a statewide coalition of members. MiLLA is coordinated by Hispanic Advocacy and Community Empowerment through Research (HACER), Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs (MCLA), and LatinoLEAD. The ultimate goal for MiLLA is to develop their coalition as model for equipping and connecting motivated nonprofit leaders that extends beyond the needs of participating Latine organizations to address other issues disproportionately affecting the Latine community.
HACER's Latinx Summit for a Greater Rural MN is a two-day “incubator” summit to incentivize Latinx individuals attending rural colleges/universities and recent college alumni (0-2 years out) living in rural cities to design social business ventures that can make greater MN a better place for the Latinx community.
