About
The Inland Empire Future Leaders Program offers training in leadership, campaign processes, cultural awareness, college preparation, career choices, citizenship responsibilities, financial literacy, and public speaking. The sessions are described as dynamic, intensive and fun-filled, and the program has provided summer leadership development conferences since 1985 for Latino eighth- and ninth-grade students from throughout the Inland Empire. Over 4,900 Latino eighth- and ninth-grade students have participated in the program since 1985.
• Ages: 13–15 years old
• Schedule: IEFL 2026 summer conference will be held June 21 through June 26, 2026, as a five-day conference
• Price: A nominal $40 fee is requested per participant to help cover costs of the conference t-shirt, conference picture, and other items (payable only after a student is accepted to participate).
Since 1985, the Inland Empire Future Leaders Program has held summer leadership development conferences supported by donations from individuals and organizations. The IEFLP Leadership Conference staff consists entirely of volunteers. The mission of the program is to provide leadership training that will create ethical leaders, motivate participants to complete high school and college, develop self-esteem and cultural pride in Latino youth, empower participants and their families through financial literacy, encourage participants to explore career options, make positive contributions to their communities, and promote love, respect, and responsibility for family and country. Four-year follow-up surveys indicate a 99 percent high school graduation rate and a 90 percent college-going rate for students participating in the program. The organization is an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit tax-exempt organization, and donations to the Inland Empire Future Leaders Program are tax deductible. The leadership team lists Dr. R.C. Heredia as the mailing address contact name, and the director email is [email protected]. Multiple named scholarships exist for IEFLP alumni, including the Art Arzola Inland Empire Future Leaders Scholarship, IEFLP Segura Family Scholarship, Dr. Tom Rivera Memorial Scholarship, David Morales Memorial Scholarship, John Meadows Scholarship, and Carballo Family Scholarship.
