LATINAS IN PROGRESS (LIP) EDUCATION SERIES

The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas, Fort Worth Chapter (HWNT-FW) aims to mentor senior high school Latinas throughout their senior year and college journey to equip them with the means to succeed in their personal and professional lives through the Latinas in Progress™ (LIP) Education Series.

The LIP Education Series consists of six learning sessions, volunteer opportunities, and mentorship. The LIP Education Series enables students to:

Learn more about the college process;

Focus on writing skills;
Learn to be more assertive;
Learn about the importance of civic engagement;
Learn about healthy living and important life skills.

The sessions are hosted at partner colleges and universities on one Saturday a month during the school year from September to March. LIP also exposes the participants to professional women who share their stories of overcoming adversity, achieving higher education, and their professional success. The sessions provide enriching learning experiences and access to opportunities, information, financial resources, and exposure to universities.
