At ALPFA New York, equity is in our DNA

AT ALPFA NY, WE OWN THE MISSION TO BUILD INTO OUR DNA A CULTURE OF EQUITY AND LEARNING WHERE WE BRING TOGETHER AND GROW A COMMUNITY OF BELONGING. WE CAN ONLY BUILD TRUST BY CREATING AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT OF CURIOSITY, LEARNING, AND BELONGING.

As the STEM industry is rapidly progressing forward, there is a crucial need for diverse and inclusive voices in the creation process of emerging technologies.

Our Pride+ Network has a mission to connect Queer Latinx leaders for Impact, as well as to increase Queer Latinx representation and leadership in strategic industries

As we look to the future, Technology must have technical representation from Queer Latinx people to avoid unconscious and conscious coded bias. Extended Reality or “XR” (VR/AR/MR) is the first frontier we will be addressing with our inaugural Technical Bootcamp, specifically for Queer Latinx ALPFA members!

This Technical Bootcamp, as well as those that follow, will focus on an emerging STEM field that:

1 2 3

Maintains significant industry upside in the near-term and top entry-point total compensation

An “in-the-know” career opportunity that requires significant industry knowledge and may not have been discussed in the family home when originally determining career-paths

Historically lacks diversity and requires a significant increase in representation of Queer Latinx professionals
