ALPFA at UIUC empowers and develops leaders of character, rooted in the Latina/o community and ready to make an impact in every sector of the global economy. As a chapter of the premier national network for leadership, growth, and opportunity, we put that mission to work on campus through mentorship, professional development, community, and service.

Our 300+ members at Illinois, from 30+ majors, are part of a national community that has been growing since 1972 and now reaches more than 100,000 students and professionals. On campus, that shows up through our various programs, such as mentorship and scholarships. We were named the 2025 National Chapter of the Year, and we give back to our community every year. If you share our values, you have a place here, whatever your major.
