Northwest Georgia’s 3rd Regional Latino Youth Leadership Conference
Thursday, March 16, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

The Latin American Association presents Northwest Georgia’s 3rd Regional Latino Youth Leadership Conference. The LAA expands this event to local communities to address community needs and inspire students to pursue higher education and follow their dreams. Our Regional LYLC will take place in Dalton as we saw the desire from local students to find the motivation to pursue their educational dreams. We also saw an opportunity to collaborate with Dalton State College first and only Hispanic Serving Institution in Georgia.

We want to continue the mission of the conference to encourage and motivate students, providing them with an event full of high energy, inspiration, motivational speakers, and action steps that all participants can take to further their education. This year Northwest Georgia’s 3rd Regional Latino Youth Leadership Conference will be held on Thursday, March 16.
