"It has been such a fulfilling experience to connect and learn from my mentee. I am truly honored to be a part of his personal and professional journey."
- Paulina Panduro, Cohort I Mentor

​
"Paulina gave me the opportunity to learn how she got into her profession while also sharing with me tools and resources I need to become successful in my future endeavors. Having a mentor in the field I want to pursue, helped me establish a sense of belonging."
​- Anthony Carranza, Cohort I Mentee
" I am inspired and motivated by my mentee's ambition, drive, and fearlessness. She is an empowering woman, and I am grateful I get to play a small role in her story."
- Brenda Grant, Cohort II Mentor

​
"Although we were both very busy, Brenda always made sure to be very present throughout the program and she truly showed up when it mattered the most! As a mentor, she always made sure that the resources that were available to her were also available to me!"
-Daniela Orozco Gomez, Cohort II Mentee

​
"The OKC Latino Young Professionals Mentoring program is a journey toward growth, connection, and empowerment. From setting goals in September to international virtual check-ins, Estefania Vasquez and I have been each other's cheerleaders.
As this year's mentorship program concludes, one lesson echoes: unwavering motivation and community propel growth."

- Sofia Arenas, Cohort III Mentee
#Mentorship provides a mutual opportunity to grow & gift that fosters a continuous benefit! I had the privilege of saying yes to serving as a mentor with the OKC Latino Young Professionals. I appreciate the unexpected and kind recognition by Oklahoma State Representative Arturo Alonso-Sandoval & the wonderful work by the program’s leaders. Service to others and the strategic connection of people & business impact - those are my drivers. I invite you to connect with OKCYLP as a mentor or mentee for future cohorts!
