Hello we are the La Raza Youth Leadership Program organizing
committee. We are excited to invite you
and your students to apply for the 2017 La Raza Youth Leadership Program. As a
division of the La Raza Youth Leadership Institute (established in 1991), over
the last 12 years the La Raza Youth Leadership Program has worked to give students
exposure in leadership, art, culture, activism, and history through a
comprehensive curriculum led by various members of the Latinx* community during
the spring.
Our mission is to empower Latinx Youth to achieve their
educational and leadership potential and to instill the desire to give back to
the Latinx Community. We believe in
social justice, human rights, and the advancement of the Latinx community. This program welcomes and encourages
differing philosophical views to promote learning experience.
Please encourage your students to apply with paper
applications by the deadline of December 12th, 2016 and online by
the deadline of December 19th, 2016. The link to the application, http://bit.ly/2fmSUBu.

In community and in solidarity,
The La Raza Youth Leadership Program Committee
