Empowering MEChA Students at NACCS 2025

Student leadership is instrumental to the development of academic and social success of our Chicano/Latino youth. As members of the Movimiento Estudiantíl Chicana/o/x de Aztlán (Chicano/Latino Student Movement of Aztlán) or MEChA de Logan, our future leaders seek opportunities to grow and network within academically and politically inspired spaces such as the upcoming National Association of Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS) Conference 2025. This conference is held annually and will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this coming April. Our MEChistAs attended their first NACCS 2024 in San Francisco, California. This experience reshaped their vision of leadership on our school campus and inspired them to branch out and organize meaningful events to support their classmates. Our goal is to fundraise and send ten of our young Raza scholars to the 2025 conference to present their work and the legacy of MEChA as supported and inspired by NACCS.

At MEChA de Logan, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness and community support, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create and maintain spaces for high school scholars/leaders to experience this powerful energy, network with Mentors and Elders who will help to guide them, and envision a new kind of leadership as we continue to demand a fair and equitable education for all of your youth.
