Latinos for Education Partnership

The deadline to submit a 2025-2026 Aspiring Latino Leaders Fellowship application has been extended to Monday, June 9, 2025 for SMUHSD employees. 

The Aspiring Latino Leaders Fellowship through Latinos for Education is a 9-month program that supports 50-75 Latinx education leaders in Massachusetts, Houston, and the Bay Area to advance in their leadership journey and ultimately expand their sphere of influence in the education sector, so more of our students succeed.

Latinos for Education supports its Fellows through culturally responsive professional development and a strong network of Latino professionals locally with the ultimate goal of strengthening the following leadership competencies:

• Translating and communicating values into action through the Public Narrative framework.

• Understanding and leveraging Latino identity to develop professionally and increase influence in education.

• Growing as a Latinx educator leading DEI in education.

• Building knowledge of a complex policy world to advocate for positive change for Latino students and families.

• Learning and using data-driven and research-based frameworks that can help improve educational outcomes.

• Advancing and empowering one's career to positively impact more students.
