A network of Latino professionals in government fostering growth and connections in the City of Long Beach.
About us
The Latino Employees Organization (LEO) was founded in 2015 by a passionate and committed group of City of Long Beach Employees who generously volunteered their time to spearhead the organization. Today, LEO comprises a diverse and dedicated group that continues leading the organization’s mission forward with their leadership and active participation. LEO is an inclusive and vibrant community with a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and 13 board members assigned to various committees. With a commitment to fostering growth and connections, LEO holds monthly meetings where members engage in discussions about important topics such as professional development, health, wellness, mentorship, arts, and culture. In addition to these enriching meetings, LEO organizes volunteer opportunities and social events that aim to facilitate meaningful connections among peers. By participating in these activities, City employees can establish new relationships and broaden their networks. LEO values inclusivity and warmly welcomes all to join, regardless of their identity or background. One of LEO's notable achievements is its Annual Scholarship Program, which serves as a flagship initiative. Every year, LEO actively fundraises to provide scholarships to Long Beach students pursuing post-secondary and non-traditional education. Over the years, this program has successfully awarded 10 scholarships to deserving individuals, including graduating Long Beach Unified School District high school seniors, Long Beach Community College students, and California State University, Long Beach students.

The Long Beach Latino Employees Organization (LEO) members had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at the 23rd annual Baja Splash Cultural Festival at the Aquarium of the Pacific! We were thrilled to spend time with the vibrant community, especially the kids, as we hosted a fun arts and crafts activity featuring jellyfish creations! 🎨🪼 Fun fact: We helped make 250 colorful jellyfish!🐚🎉 The Baja Splash Cultural Festival is a celebration of the rich and diverse cultures of México, Central and South America, and beyond, showcasing traditional dance, live music, educational programs (in both English and Spanish), and much more! We’re so proud to be part of such an inspiring event that highlights cultural heritage and community connection. A huge thank you to our members for volunteering their time and making the day so memorable. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of community and the importance of giving back. ❤️ #HispanicHertiageMonth #longbeach #AquariumofthePacific #BajaSplash #CommunityEngagement #LBEmployees #LBC
