THE INITIATIVE :
What we envision.
"The goal of this program is to engage, activate and immerse 15 emerging Latino leaders by providing a personal and professional leadership development experience that is is both culturally-unique and relevant to their Hispanic Baptist culture and calling.”
The Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas will create an opportunity for young Latino Baptist leaders that, over the course of one year, will provide:
-
LEADERSHIP CONNECTION: Will bring together young Latino and Latina leaders in a year-long cohort experience that includes a Leadership Launch Retreat, monthly interactive opportunities, and a Leadership Recovery Retreat. Participants will develop a personal leadership plan and a project that engages a leadership issue in their organization.
-
LEADERSHIP CONTEXTUALIZED CERTIFICATION: Will train and certify the leaders through an in-culture talent development program in collaboration with the Center for Hispanic Leadership. Women leaders will receive additional training through HUELLAS, a new program specifically tailored for Hispanic Baptist women.
-
LEADERSHIP IMMERSION: Will provide a leadership immersion experience that exposes the young leaders to various organizations/leaders related to Hispanic ministry.
