LIDERAMOS provides the premier Latino leadership development program (LLPs) focused on local community-based leaders. We assist community teams to explore starting a leadership program that is culturally-focused and provides the skills and perspectives to be empowered Latino leaders. Our program consists of four offerings:

1. Train the Trainer Workshops, an intensive skill building and LLP curriculum orientation.
2. Starter Tool Kit for Emerging LLPs that includes the steps and elements necessary to to start and sustain a successful LLP.
3. LLP Curriculum Tools and Guidelines highlighting five components critical to culturally inclusive and integrated learning from Latino perspectives.
4. Online learning management system designed for local LLPs to host their programs learning tools and resources, and a tool for LIDERAMOS to offer continued learning and technical assistance.  

The 5 Core Elements Training Program is designed for anyone working with the Latino community in a leadership capacity who wants to start a program, or anyone interested in enhancing their learning pedagogies to include in new program development. The five Core Elements are versatile to amplify Latino positionality and culture-based learning within the context, needs, and goals of your community. We recommend Latino leadership programs (LLPs) to strive to include all the Core Elements for an intensive, interactive, and culturally relevant experience that enable Latinos to deepen and expand their leadership competencies.

Every year LIDERMAOS will bring together Latinos who directly work in leadership programs. The 2024 Symposium will be held October 23rd to October 25th in Milwaukee, WI. The goals of each National Symposiums are to:

1. Promote a national presence and increase the impact of Latino leadership programs.
2. Establish a networking and learning community among Latino leadership programs.
3. Provide resources and technical assistance to initiate leadership programs.
4. Enhance existing leadership programs and the leadership skills of LIDERAMOS members.
5. Improve research and evaluation methods that will position Latino leadership as a specialized field of study.

The National Latino Leadership Directory lists where Latino leadership programs exist and where there are gaps in services. LIDERAMOS has created a national network of existing programs and it is now our charge to outreach to offer support, to collect best practices, to build community, and to learn from each other.

Latino Leadership Programs will be more effective and have greater impact when directors and staff participate in leadership development at the highest level and use this knowledge to improve their programs. Through a partnership with the prestigious Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), LIDERAMOS offers fellowships to Latino directors and staff. In 2022, LIDERAMOS was proud to designate their first fellow at Leadership at the Peak, CCL’s C-Suite executive program and opens a new chapter of our partnership.

LIDERAMOS envisions Latino leadership as a field of study and a critical component of Chicano, Latinx, and interdisciplinary programs. The goal is to assess and explore the Latinx leadership scholarship evident in Chican@, Latinx, Native American and Indigenous Studies, Critical Psychology, and other disciplines. And to discuss how to increase Latinx leadership studies and how to create alliances with national and local professional development organizations molding the craft of leadership. Data (qualitative and quantitative) within the framework of community based research methodologies can be the tipping point to move social change.
