Mission Statement
The mission of the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI) is to fulfill the promises and principles of democracy by empowering Hispanics and other similarly disenfranchised groups; by promoting and providing leadership skills development training; and by maximizing civic awareness and educated participation in the electoral process.
Description
The USHLI has developed into one of the most powerful, nationally and internationally recognized Latino organizations in the country by organizing and conducting nonpartisan voter registration and leadership development programs in 40 states. Our organization has been able to maintain a stable presence in hundreds of communities over the years by promoting empowerment and civic responsibility. USHLI is lead by Dr. Juan Andrade, one of the only two Latino recipients in history of a Presidential Medal for "the performance of exemplary deeds for the nation" in leadership development and civic participation. Committed to securing a brighter future for our country, USHLI constantly strives to improve and adapt our society to the ever changing complexion of the nation. As we move forward, USHLI will continue its mission and is determined to fulfill the promises of the United States in the spirit of Cesar Chavez who always believed "Si Se Puede!"
