Latino Leadership Northwest has been a vital force in Latino student education and leadership development in SW WA since 2011. Our unwavering mission empowers Latino youth to build relationships, advocate for their education, and take pride in their achievements, while also providing a safety net of resources for their families.

Diana Avalos-Leos is an advocate, community leader and a champion for youth and families with a background in addressing issues of health equity and social justice. Diana is the Founder and Executive Director of Latino Leadership NW, founded in 2011, as a grassroots movement response to address the academic and leadership needs of BIPOC youth in SW Washington. LLNW continues to bring youth together to provide leadership development, elevate post-secondary education and technical career opportunities and provide culturally specific activities to first generation, priority populations and hard to reach youth. Over the years, under Diana’s leadership LLNW has become a reputable trusted organization which collaborates with cross sector partners to address the complex social needs of youth and their families.
