The Latina Leadership Initiative of Greater Des Moines (LLI), a nonprofit organization founded in 2013 to provide leadership programming to Latina women, is launching a new pilot program designed for Latina entrepreneurs. Helping Entrepreneurs Rise, Building Innovative Zeal, or HERBIZ, is a 40-hour workshop that aims to provide essential skills for entrepreneurship and foster economic empowerment and social advancement. The new program is an expansion of the “EmpowerHer: Entrepreneurship” sessions that are a part of LLI’s original leadership program. The organization is also accepting applications for its Leadership Program, a five-month program where participants collaborate with local nonprofits on a project that works to increase awareness of social responsibility and needs in the local Latino community. Applications for both programs close on Oct. 31.
