Latina Thought Leader and Social Entrepreneur
It has always been essential that the values of our community and our cultural heritage are injected into the organization I created and the work I do.
Amanda Fernandez is the CEO and Founder of Latinos for Education, a national organization working to transform education so every child can thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Under her visionary leadership, the organization has expanded from a Boston-based nonprofit to a national leader uniting Latino families, educators, and leaders to shape education policy and practice to ensure the next generation of students can flourish as lifelong learners, economically and democratically.
