About Us
Poder NC Education Fund is a statewide nonprofit organization that connects Latinx voters with shared progressive values in North Carolina. We invest in leadership development, educate the public about issues & policies, and work to build an audacious base of leaders equipped to transform our state.
We are a 501c3 fiscally sponsored project of Southern Vision Alliance.
Mission
To increase civic participation of Latinx folks by building community around shared values, making folks feel seen and growing to their sense of self-efficacy in order to disrupt historic and/or inherited mistrust of government.
Vision
To create a world where people’s needs are met and where we see ourselves reflected in civic leadership.
Core Principles
We are rooted in the principles of being pro-Black, pro-Latinx, pro-LGBTQ+, and pro-Reproductive Justice, and pro-Climate Justice. These principles guide our leadership development and civic education work.
