100 Hispanic Women is committed to serving Latinas throughout Westchester and surrounding areas. Our goal is to foster enrichment opportunities for women and support young Latinas aspirations for higher education, while building bridges with members of our community.
We were founded in 1997 as a non-profit organization devoted to guiding Latinas towards excellence in leadership. Through the efforts of a group of volunteers and thanks to the support of our loyal sponsors, members, and friends we are committed to fostering tomorrow’s leaders. Our events throughout the year offer women of all backgrounds opportunities for growth and development, and our scholarship program helps support first generation college-bound young Latinas start college life.
The Young Latinas Leadership Institute (YLLI) is our scholarship fund for college students in good standing and committed to public service. The Latina Leadership Forum is our signature annual event. The forum brings together women to network and listen to inspiring speakers, witness the presentation of scholarships, and visit with exhibitors. Other events include an evening of literature with contemporary Hispanic/Latina (o) authors and a toy drive and networking event to jump start the holiday season.
