WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
We are on a mission to spotlight America’s Latino and Hispanic changemakers— individuals from every corner of the United States, who, in everyday capacities, are passionately igniting positive change across our communities. Whether they hail from bustling urban centers or tranquil outskirts, boardrooms, or schoolrooms, these changemakers view challenges as pathways to progress. While their efforts might not always be in the spotlight, their influence is undeniable, fostering transformation and inspiration for all.
