OUR MISSION

Los Higher Ed Homies is a collective of first-generation, BIPOC, and equity-driven leaders dedicated to creating transformative spaces through mentorship, storytelling, and advocacy. We empower underrepresented communities by building sustainable support systems that center joy, connection, and cultural pride.

OUR Vision

We envision a world where first-generation leaders are seen, heard, and celebrated. Through intentional programming and authentic connection, we strive to shift narratives in education, leadership, and community empowerment.
