The Latin American Association Presents the 22nd Annual Latino Youth Leadership Conference.
February 28, 2022 virtual event.
In a world where now a hug seems like “too much,” a handshake too invasive, and having a slight cough is like the end of the world, let us bring you some joy and a whole lotta knowledge.
This year, the Latino Youth Leadership Conference will be held virtually on February 28, 2022.
The Latino Youth Leadership Conference is here to motivate Latinx students to pursue higher education and continue the conversation of the right pathway for them, whether that is a 4-year college, a technical school, or maybe even a trade school.
Hear from motivational speakers; learn about scholarships, how to be a good leader, and more, so much more.
Let us remind you that success is achievable, that our stories matter, and that although we might be in the middle of a pandemic, our youth can and will persevere.
