MAKE KINDNESS THE NORM

 

 

WELCOME

The Hispanic Professional Women's Association, Inc. is dedicated to nurturing relationships and creating new connections through our professional development workshops, monthly events, networking events, and luncheons. 

We thank you for your continued support and participation. Your involvement allows us to create opportunities for nurturing relationships and professional development in the Tampa Bay community.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAM APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN till August 31, 2025.  Check the Mentorship Tab.

In support of our mission to promote the value of higher education, HPWA hosts a Mentorship Program and raises funds for annual academic scholarships.

The Mentorship Program, which runs annually from October to May, connects Hispanic women pursuing higher education with professionals in their fields. It is a structured program that offers mentees personal development and networking opportunities, and provides mentors with a leadership opportunity to share their knowledge and support the next generation's leaders.

The scholarships are awarded at the Annual Gala to eligible mentees who complete the program and apply for the scholarships.

We encourage mentors and mentees to apply and take advantage of the Program's benefits. 2024-2025 Mentorship Program applications are NOW closed.
