PODEROSAS
We are building a network of support for a new generation of Latinas to educate and mobilize their local communities to close the gap in civic participation and increase the political representation of Latinxs in the U.S.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We are a unique action-oriented fellowship with access to tools and events that take our fellows, volunteers, and community at large beyond the lecture and traditional training. We are closing the Latinx civic participation gap and increasing our political representation via phone banking, voter registration drives, digital organizing, and taking leadership ourselves.

ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
The Poderosas fellowship is a part of Poder Latinx's community empowerment programs designed to provide leadership development and inspire Latinas across key electoral states to use civic engagement tools to increase voter participation in their communities for the 2022 elections and beyond. Our vision is for every Poderosa fellow to have the necessary tools to educate and engage their local communities to help close the gap in civic participation and increase Latinx's political representation in the U.S.
The fellowship will prepare and cultivate the Latina electorate as long term agents of change. Through a continuum of civic and voter engagement opportunities – starting with online, grassroots organizing, and leadership development – we are building a culture of civic participation among Latinas to shape a national narrative on Latinx lives and elevate issues important to our constituency. By grounding the work in the development of Latina leaders and tying their involvement to matters of local, statewide, and national concern, we ensure a lasting voice for the nation’s fastest-growing demographic.
Cohort III will launch this network in primarily in Arizona, Washington, Georgia, Florida, Washington DC/Virginia, and North Carolina. We will also consider applications from Texas, California, Nevada, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. The fellowship will kick off in late May and end in early December 2023.
