ELLAS CENTURY is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit corporation established in 2003, named in honor of national and international Latina role models, and the ELLAS CENTURY CEO and Founder, Pilar Pinel. The program derives its revenue through corporate funders, fundraising activities and individual contributions. Our mission and program goal is simple… to facilitate academic and leadership opportunities for a better quality of life for young women. We believe a higher education in the lives of underprivileged Latina youth is the foundation for success of that’s absent in the lives.
