Program Overview

Latinitas is the only non-profit organization focused on empowering Hispanic girls through media and technology. We publish LatinitasMagazine.org, a bilingual webzine by and for Hispanic girls. In addition, we offer opportunities to involve girls in the publication process to develop their own media. We offer fun girl-oriented camps, after-school programs, mentor projects, and workshops focused on media. With a variety of enriching experiences, Latina girls discover their voice and develop media skills while building a solid foundation for their future.
