ILI PRESIDENT & CEO
Welcome to the new and improved Indiana Latino Institute (ILI) website!
Since its founding over two decades ago, ILI has continually evolved to address the pressing needs of Latino Hoosiers more effectively. Responding to Indiana’s fast-growing Latino population, this website reflects how ILI’s revamped focus is advancing its mission—to advance Latino educational attainment and workforce preparedness statewide through advocacy, leadership development, and culturally responsive programming in Indiana.
While the increasing numbers of Latino Hoosiers celebrate their heritage and accomplishments, the community’s potential is not fully realized as Latinos are disproportionally undereducated, underemployed, and underrepresented in leadership positions. Amplifying the Latino voice, enhancing opportunities, and continually lifting the personal and the community’s triumphs, ILI intends to stop the massive leaks in the proverbial pipeline leading to postsecondary-education completion and good jobs with a streamlined focus in its programming and through its partnerships.
All the work described in this web portal is made possible by the generous foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations, and collaboration by ILI and its partners. But thoroughly addressing the community’s needs requires additional public- and private-sector resources and new partnerships to expand culturally appropriate programming and build ILI’s and the Latino community’s capacity. Foundations, corporations, government agencies, individuals, and other stakeholders are invited to collaborate with ILI to build a thriving and proud Indiana Latino community, benefitting from its education attainment and career opportunities, and civically and economically contributing to the communities in which Latino Hoosiers live.
