The Hispanic Chamber of Louisiana Young Professionals (HCCLYP) fosters growth, development and resources for up-and-coming Hispanic business leaders. HCCLYP hosts events throughout the year that are specifically tailored to the city’s young Hispanic community.
One of the greatest missions of the committee is raising scholarship funds that are made available to applicants of Hispanic heritage who seek post-high school education, whether it be at a university or trade school. The application period is during Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15- Oct. 15). If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund or apply; please visit: hispanicchamberla.com/scholarship-for-students-of-hispanic-heritage/
HCCL Young Professionals Committee members engage year round in activities such as fundraisers and networking events. They also assist the HCCL with signature events and collaborate with other young professional organizations, including the Young Leadership Council, the Jefferson Chamber and the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce.
