Aspen Institute Latinos and Society

Leading the Way to Economic Prosperity for All
A significant and growing part of the U.S. population, Latinos are vital to the nation’s economic prosperity. Leveraging this opportunity requires addressing long-standing wealth disparities that are limiting Latinos’ potential.
Aspen Institute Latinos and Society is breaking down these barriers and inspiring a future where Latinos lead the way. By creating pathways for more Latinos to own businesses, increase their digital capacity, and expand their leadership skills, we are empowering Latinos to build intergenerational wealth and strengthen the U.S. economy for all.
