About Us
LALA is a non-profit institution that aims to develop a new generation of diverse, entrepreneurial, and ethical leaders who will serve the Latin American region.
We identify young people aged 14 to 20 with high potential and strong purpose, many from historically marginalized communities, and give them access to programs that develop skills in leadership, entrepreneurship, social innovation, social-emotional learning, and critical thinking. LALíderes join a lifelong community made up of change agents and partner organizations working to address the region’s most urgent challenges.

Diversity and inclusion are core values at LALA. Given the history of elitism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and discrimination in Latin America, we seek to contribute to systemic change not only through LALA but within LALA. We value diversity of identities, lived experiences, skills, perspectives, and worldviews. We believe diversity will make us stronger and smarter. We know our diversity will inspire more Latin American youth to aim even higher. Therefore, we encourage interested candidates from historically underrepresented identities and communities in leadership roles to apply to this and all other positions at LALA!
