The Latina Mentoring Group, led by Ms Pena, is a program that helps the Latina community at Bryant speak their opinion and help them empower them to help meet their community’s needs. The group provides a space where Lantinas can discuss issues that they may have no other place to, or to help them open up with their self-esteem. The Latina Mentoring has been going both inside and outside of school–they recently took a field trip to a Yoga Studio and enjoyed a wonderfully restorative and energizing practice.
Ms. Peña wanted to start this program to help out with any problems that are unique to the Latina community; she wants to listen to the opinions of each one of them. She hopes that by beginning this program she can help Latinas at Bryant become more self-confident and increase their self-awareness.
