About Us

HISTORY
​Latinas in Progress (LIP) was founded by the Hispanic Women's Network of Texas (HWNT) in 1989. This program was created to mentor high-school Latinas as they embark on their college journey and equip them with the necessary tools to succeed in their personal and professional lives. Today, in alignment with its mission, LIP strives to continue empowering girls of color and advance their educational, cultural, social, legal, and economic well-being.
