ALPFA

Connecting Latino Leaders for Impact

nonprofit membership association serving students and professionals since 1972 (see http://www.alpfa.org) Our purpose is to connect Latino leaders for impact. College dropout Mark Zuckerberg finally has his Harvard degree. He left the Ivy League university 12 years ago to launch Facebook and returned last Thursday to pick up a honorary degree and share some wisdom with the class of 2017. As #ALPFA helps our members discover their life purpose and aligns their passion and values with our partners who seek great talent, I especially enjoyed this part of his commencement address:
“…Today I want to talk about purpose. But I'm not here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose. We're millennials. We'll try to do that instinctively. Instead, I'm here to tell you finding your purpose isn't enough. The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose. One of my favorite stories is when John F Kennedy visited the NASA space center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing. The janitor responded: "Mr. President, I'm helping put a man on the moon". Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for. Purpose is what creates true happiness.”

We help college students discover their purpose and align their passion and value, with our corporate partners looking to hire great talent. We help professional members with introductions to other professionals, and provide leadership opportunities at our 44 chapters, and leadership development content.
