Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA)
The student chapter of the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA) here at 奶糖直播 is committed to the mission of ALPFA: "To empower and develop Latino men and women as leaders of character for the nation, in every sector of the global economy."
