In 2023,which was our first year
registered as a charity and first time
running our mentorship program,
LAMP was able to support 44
mentees (young Latin Americans in
the UK). This was thanks to the
support from 39 mentors and the
large tech organisation Google.
Grew our online presence by showcasing
our work and celebrating key successes of
young Latin Americas in the UK. This
included gaining 2,000 followers in
Instagram and 800 in Linkedin. This helped
us to reach more young Latin Americans that
could benefit from our programs and
support.|
