We give them access to programs that build skills in leadership, entrepreneurship, social innovation, social-emotional learning, and critical thinking.The students join a lifelong community of changemakers and partner organizations working to address the region's most pressing challenges. Latin America faces a host of economic, social, political & environmental challenges. For example, we have the biggest income inequality in the world and one of the worst educational systems. These forces shape-and break-our talent and leadership pipelines. The resulting shortage of great leaders leave us with too many corrupt or incompetent public sector leaders, too few innovative and socially conscious private sector leaders, and a mostly underfunded and underprepared social sector. And so, the cycle repeats itself. The good news is that this cycle can be broken. At LALA have a robust strategy that can work within and around these dysfunctional systems, finding the most promising young leaders and developing & connecting them to turn them in a new generation of transformational Latin American leaders.
