The ALP welcomes all sectors and professions. That includes private/business, non profit, and public sector/government and aims to have a balance of different professions.

Through a rigorous and competitive process, approximately 18 applicants are accepted each year. Our selection committee (made up of program alumni and community members) seeks to admit a cohort representing the business, nonprofit, and government/public sectors.

To ensure accessibility, the ALP program is free for participants. However, we highly encourage you to speak with your employer about what level of support they can provide to support your participation within ALP. The program fee is $5,000 per participant. The program covers an intensive set of skills, collaboration, mental health support, individual career and leadership coach, and culturally specific development. - Mutual Benefits: Investing in our fellows is an investment in the future of our community and organizations. The skills and insights gained through this program will directly benefit participants and their employers, leading to enhanced organizational performance and innovation. - Employer Contributions: We strongly encourage employers to support their employees' participation in this transformative program. Many organizations recognize the value and cover all or a portion of the fee from professional development funds or other resources. - Scholarships and Accessibility: Your generous contributions make it possible for us to offer scholarships, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder deserving individuals from participating. Scholarships are partially funded by the LatinoLEAD network and our esteemed partners. LatinoLEAD will support those who live in Greater MN, including covering a hotel room the night before each session. Again, we want to work closely with you and consider contributing to support this initiative and provide opportunities for professional and leadership development without financial barriers. Contact Brenda at brenda@latinoleadmn.org with any questions. *Scholarships are also available and please note that the ALP program cost will not be a barrier that determines acceptance.
