LALA: WHAT WE DO
At Latin American Leadership Academy (LALA) creates international and socioeconomically diverse
cohorts of the most promising graduating high school students who have demonstrated an
unshakeable commitment to social change. LALA is launching leadership boot camps throughout Latin
America to create local hubs of social impact and find values-aligned youth. In the near future, LALA
will open an eighteen-month program that blends social impact, entrepreneurial leadership, a liberal
arts education, and social and emotional learning. The program connects participants to mentors,
resources, and opportunities. We at LALA, envision a diverse continental ecosystem that collaborates
across differences and brings shared prosperity to Latin America.
