The Hispanic  Leadership Institute (HLI) is a program that empowers Tulsa-area  Hispanics/Latines to grow as leaders and make a difference in their  communities.

Through hands-on learning, meaningful connections, and community  dialogue, participants strengthen their leadership skills and deepen  their understanding of local issues. HLI members also collaborate on a  group project that gives back to the Tulsa region, putting what they’ve  learned into action.

Purpose: To prepare and support Hispanic/Latine leaders who are ready to serve, lead, and create lasting impact across Tulsa.

Program Structure: The program is delivered with  emphasis on four main concepts: group learning, experiential learning,  exposure to processes and experts, and integration of Hispanic/Latine  cultural identity influences.
HLI is a six-month program, with class members meeting primarily in  person for sessions and a two-day retreat (with the exception of a  virtual orientation and a virtual community project showcase). The cost  is $600 and scholarships are available.
