    Chicago City Council Latino Caucus Foundation

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $50,000

    In Chicago, nearly half of CPS students are Latino, nearly 1 in 3 babies born in Chicago are Latino. Despite this, we’re disproportionately impacted by the broken structures that surround us and Latino representation is far too low across the board. Therefore, the Chicago City Council Latino Caucus founded the Chicago City Council Latino Caucus Foundation (“CLCF”) as an entity to empower and prepare the next generation of Latino leaders. CLCF was created to empower entry-level to C-Suite Latino talent to refuse to be overlooked as they offer their expertise, cultural competency, and powerful experience to the fabric of Chicago’s workforce. CLCF achieves this mission through a distinct and impactful program: the CLCF Leadership Academy.
