As a member of the Latino Action Network since 2016 and a steering committee member since 2017, Pena chairs the Membership Committee at LAN. Pena is also on the labor, criminal justice, and Bylaws committee. In 2014, Mr. Pena and two friends began uniting street-respected Latino "big bros" who had achieved personal and professional success despite their past mistakes or the neighborhood they come from. Throughout New Jersey's roughest barrios, rehabilitated business owners, correction officers, construction workers, barbers, and single fathers formed UPLIFT Barrio Outreach with Pena as its co-founder and State Director. Aside from everyday one-on-one guidance (with a specialty in street organizations), Mr. Pena utilizes UPLIFT and Latino Action Network to introduce the average at-risk youth or recently released brothers to the importance of networking and community service participation to better one’s life and community. Henry Pena has an associate degree in Paralegal Studies from Berkeley College of Business and is currently studying for his Master's Electrician’s License.
