Our Impact

Circle de Luz is compelling because of our comprehensiveness, special focus and unique developmental model.

We offer crucial support to young Latinas through a powerful, dual approach as a nonprofit and giving circle. Every year, Circle de Luz engages and mentors a new group of young Latinas (our hijas) who are nominated by their 6th grade teachers to join our program in the 7th grade and remain members through high school graduation. At a minimum, each girl is awarded a $5,000 scholarship for further education when they complete high school.
