The Poderosas fellowship is a part of Poder Latinx's community empowerment programs aimed at building a new generation of Latina civic leaders across key electoral states. Our vision is for the fellows to educate and mobilize their local communities to close the gap in civic participation and increase the political representation of Latinas in the U.S.
This year-long fellowship helps young Latinas build the Latina Electorate with an interactive curriculum focused on learning the techniques and tools for how civic engagement campaigns work, why Latinx political leadership and representation matters, and how to build political engagement among young Latinxs in their local communities.
