Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Lake Forest College proudly celebrates Hispanic Heritage month. As part of our celebration, we would like to introduce you to LEAP: the Latinx Entrepreneurial Advancement Program. LEAP is an initiative spearheaded by three Latina Lake Forest College students. The goal is to empower Latinx and first-generation students to see entrepreneurship as a viable path. This is achieved both in the classroom and in the community, learning and applying design-thinking, the entrepreneurial resilient mindsets, and business skills as well as gaining exposure to real-world entrepreneurial experiences.
Connecting students with the local community, LEAP creates opportunities for our students and our community. LEAP is about educating students on entrepreneurship, innovation, and how to launch a business or social impact venture through self-discovery, peer-to-peer engagement, failure resilience, rigorous coursework, experiential exercises, fearless asking, and pitching / storytelling experiences. Interactions with local founders allows Lake Forest College students to learn from and lift up the greater Lake County area.

Check out this podcast that provides listeners with both Hispanic culture and the feel of female empowerment. Three Latinas, Cecilia, Irene, and Veronica are friends turned creators who wanted a place to share the ups and downs of being a working woman, mother, and a person of color. This want for a community feel has led to the creation of this podcast that shares empowering messages through a unique cultural feminist perspective.
