Abstract: This thesis explores the qualities and challenges of four Latino leaders from four different Latino nonprofit organizations in North Carolina. Latino nonprofit organizations, which are defined in this thesis as organizations that specifically serve the Latino population, are considered to be the backbones of Latino communities in the United States. These Latino nonprofit organizations work extensively to bridge the policy, social, educational, and cultural gaps often encountered by many Latino communities. Recent studies show that the Latino population growth will continue into the next few decades accompanied by an absence of experienced Latino leaders to help support this burgeoning population. A qualitative research study was conducted with Latino leaders from four different Latino nonprofits in North Carolina to further explore and understand the challenges Latinos face as leaders and the qualities needed by effective Latino leaders.
