Our Mission

Our mission is to create a space where Hispanic/Latinx team members and allies can build relationships and share cultural experiences with one another and within the broader organization, nurturing a sense of belonging.

Our vision is to forge a community of Hispanic/Latinx team members that empower, enable and elevate one another.

What We Do

Events

We pull together Upwork's Latinx community and our friends through events celebrating the history and diversity of Latinx cultures, like different countries' national holidays. These events are great for bringing people together while celebrating what it means to be Latinx.

Fundraisers

¿Qué Tal?'s inaugural event on Cinco de Mayo raised over $2,000 via an all-day raffle across all of Upwork's offices. Prizes for the raffle included Mexican cooking classes, gift cards to traditional Mexican restaurants, and Upwork swag, and the proceeds went to various charities supporting the Latinx communities in Chicago and the Bay Area.

Programs

We are always trying to lift up our communities outside of Upwork, with programs like iMentor, a three-year program focusing on first-generation students that partners an employee with a high school student for mentorship.
