What We Do

Perhaps the greatest long-term investment in sustainable development a nation can make is the investment in their youth through continuing investment in education and work force development. By equipping youth with leadership and creative thinking skills, technical and business knowledge, and combining it with social and environmental awareness, NHEO (National Hispanic Entrepreneurs' Organization) is training the youth of today to be the community, business and socially responsible leaders of tomorrow.

By working to improve the leadership and entrepreneurial skills of people in local communities, NHEO is also helping to improve the employment prospects of community members and the sustainability of local communities. To accomplish this, NHEO's team introduces proven policies and practices, adapts new approaches, builds local capacities, conducts pilot and full programs, and institutionalizes programming in the educational and vocational system (including schools, universities, vocational colleges, government agencies and community learning centers). 


Our Approach
 
NHEO catalyze and accelerate the process of personal and societal transformation on these main pillars:

•   Delivering  holistic, interactive and educational programs to help entrepreneurs scale their ventures;
•   Raise awareness of critical issues faced by Hispanics, and developing strategies for social change;
•   Ongoing support and mentoring to launch the sustainable ventures developed by our Fellows;
•   Building a global network of social entrepreneurs and the platform to accelerate their mission;
•   Partner with others to leverage our resources and capabilities to accelerate the process;
•   Treat the North Carolina region as a program incubator where new approaches can be tried and tested before being disseminated nationally.

Driving Social Change

Fostering the next generation of Hispanic entrepreneurs is a dynamic process, a spiral to generate social capital: the more people who take action, the more awareness they will arise, this will encourage people to explore and absorb the materials and virtually create more entrepreneurs that will have the passion to pursue the concept.

This is the umbrella for the NHEO’s focused areas of development:

Stage1: Leadership Development
Stage2: Knowledge Development
Stage3: Enterprise Development
