Dare to Dream: Get Educated! Latina Conference

Dare to Dream: Get Educated! Latina Conference Dare to Dream: Get Educated! is a charitable organization working for the advancement of education: www.daretodreamlatinas.org Atrévete a Soñar ¡Edúcate!

(Dare to Dream: Get Educated!) is a one-day conference for Latina middle school girls. In 2009, the first year, Latina middle school girls and their mothers and/or mentors attended the conference on the Elmhurst College campus. We focused on the personal, professional and financial value of education in general and higher education in particular.

As the Dare to Dream Conference came to an end, we closed with the most beautiful part of all. Students and the adults who came with them took time to write letters to one another—sharing words of gratitude, hopes, and dreams, and expressing the deep love they hold for each other. It was a powerful reminder that when young Latinas are supported, seen, and loved, there is nothing they cannot achieve. We look forward to welcoming and walking alongside a new group of students and families next year.

Al llegar al final de la conferencia Dare to Dream, cerramos con el momento más hermoso de todos. Las estudiantes y las personas adultas que las acompañaron se tomaron el tiempo de escribirse cartas, compartiendo palabras de gratitud, deseos y sueños, y expresando el profundo amor que se tienen. Fue un poderoso recordatorio de que cuando las jóvenes latinas se sienten apoyadas, valoradas y amadas, no hay límites para lo que pueden lograr. Esperamos con entusiasmo conocer y acompañar a una nueva generación de estudiantes y familias el próximo año.

Otro componente significativo de la conferencia es la sesión de educación financiera ofrecida a las mamás y personas adultas especiales que nos acompañan.

Our conference offers interactive panels that every student has the opportunity to attend. The student panel provides insight into the classes students are taking now, along with honest advice and personal experiences.

Every path is valid, and every dream matters. 🌟

One of the most meaningful parts of this conference is that each student is invited to bring her mom or a special adult with her. Together, these women learn how to support young Latinas as they continue to pursue their dreams and how to uplift their children every step of the way. Thank you to all who participate—you hold a special place in our hearts. 💕

Uno de los aspectos más significativos de esta conferencia es que cada estudiante puede traer a su mamá o a una persona adulta especial. Juntas, estas mujeres aprenden cómo apoyar a las jóvenes latinas para que continúen persiguiendo sus sueños y cómo acompañar mejor a sus hijas en su camino. Gracias a todas las que participan; ocupan un lugar muy especial en nuestros corazones. 💕
