Leadership
To change hearts, minds, and change policy, we need strong leaders. ALMA strives to develop strong leaders and tap into the potential of the Latinx LGBTQ+ communities. We also connect leaders from our community to local and national opportunities. ALMA is committed to building a leadership pathway - from youth leaders to professional community leaders.
Scholarship
ALMA is proud to offer a scholarship developed to invest in the leadership opportunities of young Latinx LGBTQ+ leaders.
The Román Legacy Award, previously known as the ALMA Creating Change Scholarship, supports aspiring community leaders and advocates aged 17-24. It covers all expenses for attending the annual LGBTQ+ Task Force's Creating Change Conference, participation in the LGBTQ+ Advocacy and Leadership Institute, and provides mentorship for future endeavors. Additionally, recipients receive a small stipend to aid their development as leaders within the Latinx LGBTQ+ community.
