In the season of giving, we wanted to release this special episode featuring SAHCC Leadership Committee Chair, Michelle Martinez, and our very own Director of Programs, Emma Hernandez, to chat about our 501(c)3 non-profit, the Hispanic Leadership Development Program (HLDF). In this episode, we focus in on our Leadership Programs (LLI and ABLDP), their origin stories, how they evolved this past year, and what to look forward to with our 2022 classes.

These programs would not be possible without the support and engagement of our Program Volunteers, Alumni, and community donors. Giving Tuesday is kicking off HLDF’s year-end fundraiser, and any amount donated goes a long way to help support our future leadership and education programs.

The Foundation also educates participants on policy issues affecting the civic and economic well-being of the community and create a larger pool of knowledgeable, skilled and active leaders.
