Learn About the National Hispanic Institute and Our 2027 Summer Leadership Programs
The National Hispanic Institute (NHI) creates experiences that engage high-achieving 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students in projects designed to advance our quality of life. Since 1979, more than 100,000 young people have taken part in NHI programs, and our international network includes tens of thousands of industry leaders and community changemakers.
At this info session, you’ll learn about our summer leadership programs:
- The Great Debate (9th grade)
- Lorenzo de Zavala Youth Legislative Session (10th and 11th grade)
- Collegiate World Series (11th grade)
We’ll also cover how to apply and what it means to become part of the NHI membership. Ninety percent of NHI members are admitted to selective colleges and universities, and 90% complete their undergraduate degrees in five years or less. In 2024, students from seven nations and 25 U.S. states took part in our summer programs.
NHI is a great fit for students who aspire to be community leaders, want to deepen their knowledge of Latino/a cultures, hope to grow their network and find mentors, and enjoy service and volunteering.
All students from all schools are invited to attend with their parents. We’d love to meet you!
