Overview
SOMOS, Inc., is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization committed to addressing the needs of the Hispanic population of New York State. Our conferences, held twice yearly, serve as a platform for legislators, scholars, business and labor leaders to address various concerns pertinent to this community. Our thought-provoking workshops on key issues, such as business development, health, and education aim to address the needs of the Hispanic population of New York. Additionally, SOMOS, Inc. uses proceeds collected through these conferences to empower youths with scholarships that encourage furthering their education; college internships to promote retention; and apprenticeships to introduce newly graduated adults into the public, nonprofit, labor, and private sectors. The organization aims to create opportunities for Hispanic youth that will facilitate their professional development, growth, and future success.
