Volunteer Spotlight: Gracie Cain



With the help and leadership of our volunteers, Latinitas continues to flourish and grow. Volunteers give their time and talents to help Latinitas from mentoring girls to assisting behind-the-scenes planning. Bringing their backgrounds and life lessons, volunteers give girls the hope and glimpse of a bright future.


Dedicating her free time to Latinitas, real estate agent Gracie Cain helps organize events for Latinitas to participate in, like the Veterans Day Parade and to set up interviews for Latinitas teen reporters. She has served as a guest speaker for Latinitas conferences and helped in planning special events. In the Spring, Gracie will take on a new role as a volunteer Club Leader facilitating an after-school program in Northeast El Paso.

Gracie said she realizes the importance of Latinas coming together for the good of the community. "All Latinas need to come together and get involved in any way..to make a strong force and impact on our communities," Gracie said.

Gracie takes her role as an active Latina seriously, that's why she volunteers for a few other organizations and at her church too.

Gracie is just one example of the many volunteers that dedicate their time to empowering young Latinas. Volunteers provide our young members a real-world perspective, offer advice and guidance for the future generation of Latina leaders.
