For the sixteenth year in a row, Coors Light has announced the winners of its Líderes of the Year Program, awarding five Latinos and the non-profits they work with $10,000 each.

Each winner was chosen for their dedicated efforts to make long-lasting improvements to their communities through their leadership and work in conjunction with a non-profit.

“Each year, I’m amazed by the dedication and passion demonstrated by each Latino leader as they work tirelessly to make a difference in their communities,” said Coors Light associate marketing manager Alexander Vertrees, in a press release.

“It has been such an honor to work with a company that celebrates Latino trailblazers, while simultaneously providing Latino innovators with the resources they need to better support their communities,” he continued.

The winners will be permitted to enter the Change Makers Alumni Network, being put in touch with nearly 150 fellow Latino community leaders.

The alumni network will help these winners uplift themselves and each other, create networking opportunities, and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.

Each winner is a Hispanic or Latino between the ages of 21 and 39 who is associated with a 501c(3) non-profit organization that actively impacts and improves the Latino community.
