About Decidete Mujer
Our mission is to inspire Latin women to develop their leadership by recognizing their fundamental worth and innate value .
Purpose : The organization works to increase networking connections , advance career paths , provide new avenues to expand inbuilt skills , and inspire individuals to use their talents more effectively . DM works to fortify the woman ’ s role within the family while preserving cultural values and maintaining her independence .
Mentor-ship programs , women will learn the knowledge and resources to create and manage their own successful business or organizations .
Human services to disadvantaged populations through the mental health initiative and help them overcome many social issues such as drug and substance abuse , behavioral health , and overall well-being . Latinos are at high risk for a number of mental health issues , depression , anxiety , and substance abuse among the highest concerns .
Educates Latino families and health care providers about mental health illness to dispel all related stigmas and bridge the gap between rates of occurrence and rates of treatment . Through the organization ’ s leadership development programs ,
Creates opportunities for Latinas to excel professionally , emotionally , culturally , and spiritually .
Our program directly addresses low-attainment rates by providing Latino college students with the knowledge , tools , and connections needed during their academic careers in order to gain and be successful beyond their college degrees . Without programs like ours , much of this important information remains inaccessible to Latino students who often take longer to graduate or simply drop out of college . We strongly believe that ¡ Decidete Mujer ! is quickly positioning itself to become a national leader as a “ go-to ” pipeline of diverse talent for Corporate America , the Federal and Non-profit Sector , and institutions of higher learning across our great nation . Through scholarships , internships , and leadership development , we can significantly increase the awareness , success and visibility
