Who We Are
LEAD is a global, student-powered movement to unlock opportunity through education, leadership, and community.
LEAD is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering students across LATAM and beyond by opening doors to education, leadership, and opportunity. Born from the belief that challenges can become stepping stones, LEAD creates programs that connect students to mentorship, professional development, and STEM learning.
Through university chapters, high school initiatives, and global partnerships, we strive to build a new generation of leaders who inspire hope, drive innovation, and uplift their communities.
Our Core Values
LEARN
Knowledge is the foundation of growth.
We create opportunities
for students to access education, mentorship,
and skills that unlock
their potential.
EXPLORE
Curiosity drives innovation. We encourage students to step outside their comfort zones, try new ideas, and engage with diverse communities.
ASPIRE
Dreams become reality when paired with action. We guide students to set bold goals, believe in themselves, and pursue excellence with determination.
DISCOVER
True leadership comes from reflection and discovery. We help students uncover their strengths, passions, and the power they have to transform the world.
“LEAD was born from a simple but powerful belief: that every student, no matter the obstacles, deserves the chance to dream, learn, and lead. As someone who once walked the same uncertain paths, I know the impact of opportunity and mentorship. Through LEAD, we want to turn those opportunities into movements, shaping a generation that is not only prepared for the future, but determined to change it.
