LATINO TOWNHALL

The Latino population is rapidly growing, especially in the Southwest region of the United States but we cannot lead by sheer numbers alone, we must become an educated and enlightened community. Therefore, Latino Townhall, Inc. was founded as an educational 501(C)3 public charity. Our mission as a private postsecondary leadership school is to equip and empower Latinos as transformational leaders to permeate, influence and transform culture.

Our primary focus is education, emphasizing life and leadership development. First, as a private postsecondary school in the state of Nevada, our objective is to equip and empower Latinos as transformational leaders. We offer twelve courses of values based leadership ranging from foundational principles of leadership, discovering one’s life calling, life and work balance, becoming a better communicator to building and leading extraordinary teams. Second, we offer our annual Latino Youth Leadership Summit where hundreds of youth attend to learn about leadership and improving one’s life. For instance, our leadership conference this year is the Workforce Leadership Summit & Job Fair, where students, ages 16-23, will learn workforce principles to acquire a job or a better job. Topics include; Economic Development & Prosperity, Cover Letter Writing, Resume Building, Communicating Effectively in a Job Interview, Networking and Building Social Capital, and Dressing for Success. Third, we offer Latino teens a mentoring program called Life Coaching for Teens, with an emphasis in discovering identity, developing character and living courageously. And, finally, we also offer other training programs such as life (personal) and leadership (performance) coaching, and consulting services.

You may be asking, why an emphasis on transforming culture? The root word for culture is “cult”, which means a particular form of worship. Since we all worship someone or something, this someone or something determines how you and I create and order our lives, our family, the workplace and culture at large. Those in positions of influence tend to influence the values and mindsets of large segments of society. Culture then receives either an upgrade or downgrade depending on “who” leads and “what” worldview or values are being translated to the masses to shape culture. Our objective is to develop transformational leaders who can create transformation in themselves, and their family; lead transformative organizations, and influence culture at large.
