Opportunities

College & Career Exploration

For those interested in a one-time volunteer opportunity, we host monthly career panels, college campus visits, job shadows, resume reviews, mock interviews, networking events, etc. Volunteers join us for these activities to share their passion, answer questions from youth and provide real-life advice on how to pursue different college and career pathways.

About us

Founded in 1968, Sociedad Latina’s mission is to work in partnership with youth and families to create the next generation of Latino leaders who are confident, competent, self-sustaining and proud of their cultural heritage. Since 1999, we have more than quadrupled our organizational budget through aggressive fundraising, partnership development, strategic communications, and data-driven program development. This expansion and improvement of services allows us to empower youth and guide them successfully into post-secondary education and beyond, provide meaningful jobs that build professional and personal skills, expand arts and culture access for all community members, and create progressive change in the community.
