The Institute’s annual conference exposes Colorado’s Latino youth to the endless opportunities in their future by promoting the importance of higher education, career planning, self-esteem building, cultural identity and developing leadership skills. Students are also exposed to a college campus environment, to Latino professionals and community leaders.The conference includes three workshop sessions, a keynote address, a youth keynote address, an education/resource fair and lunch time entertainment. The LRYLI conference is unique because we cater to 12 – 18 yr old Colorado Latinos by offering culturally sensitive programming to enhance their social, educational and personal growth.

$25 Covers: Breakfast, Lunch, T-shirt, Entertainment, & a lifetime of knowledge about the importance of their Education, Culture, Mentoring, and Identity.
*All proceeds from this campaign will go to the La Raza Youth Leadership Institute General Fund.

With your support, we will equip the leaders of tomorrow with resources for success, today.




TESTIMONIALS:

“I graduated from La Raza Youth Leadership Program during the same year that I graduated high school in 2010. During this phase of my life, I was seeking identity and a sense of self-worth. As a student in this program, I was able to grasp the fact that I was indeed a part of a powerful culture that holds a history of strife, strength, and success. The program’s given insight helped me to find my own individualism in the midst of a greater Latino community that motivates me to this day.”

Vanessa Vasquez, Leadership Program graduate and La Raza volunteer

“Throughout La Raza, I was able to find more about my heritage, customs, roots, and traditions. Some of the workshops we had enlightened me and motivated me to become a leader in my community. I will forever be grateful to La Raza because it was here that I found my voice and who I am. This is seriously one of the best programs I've done and it has opened so many doors for me!”

Jacqueline Juarez, Leadership Program graduate, 2010-2011.
