The Latina Leadership Network of CCC is a mutual support and advocacy organization committed to creating a space for sharing high impact practices addressing equity, diversity, and social justice issues faced by the Latinx community. We come together to harness collective experiences and foster inclusionary practices through cultural unity.
Thank you to all of the generous LLN Scholarship Donors who make these awards possible!
The Latina Leadership Network (LLN) has partnered with Modesto Junior College Foundation to ensure all donations go to scholarships and celebration of Latinx communities. Below you will find flyers related to this year's fundraising opportunities as well as access to our foundation direct link.
Currently, we are raising money for 2024 Scholarships and our Annual Chicanx/ Latinx Graduation Celebration.
