📚✨ YEARBOOK DROP! / ¡YA LLEGÓ EL ANUARIO! ✨📚

A huge thank you to all of our students for making this another unforgettable year! Ustedes son el corazón de nuestro programa. Every meeting, activity, conversation, and memory was made special because of the energy, leadership, resilience, and authenticity that each of you brought to our community.

This year we watched you step outside your comfort zones, build new friendships, develop leadership skills, give back to your community, and proudly embrace your cultura and identity. We are incredibly proud of everything you have accomplished and the growth we’ve seen throughout the year.

Gracias por compartir sus voces, sus ideas, sus talentos y sus cultura con nosotros. Your stories matter, your leadership matters, and the impact you make in our community matters.

As we look back through these photos and memories, we celebrate not only what we’ve achieved together, but also the bright futures ahead of each of you. 🌟

Keep dreaming big, lifting each other up, staying connected to your roots, and showing the world what our youth can accomplish. 💪🏽❤️

¡Felicidades por otro año exitoso! We can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.

Con Amor,
Latino Leadership Youth Program Team

A special thank you to Jane Shanahan for speaking with our Lincoln High youth about her family research journey. She shared powerful stories about discovering family letters and documenting her grandmother Jesusita’s migration story. It was fascinating to see the research process firsthand, including original letters, photographs, and the books she has published that preserve her family’s history.

Her presentation inspired our students to explore their own family trees, ask meaningful questions, and embrace their identities. 🌳📜

We are grateful for community members who help our youth connect with their roots and recognize the power of their stories.

The Latino Leadership Youth Program proudly uplifts the history, culture, and contributions of Black communities, including the powerful legacy of Afro-Latinidad across the Americas, throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Afro-Latino history is Black history. From art and music to activism, food, and leadership, Black excellence continues to shape our communities every day.

Together, we celebrate, learn, and amplify Black and Afro-Latino voices, this month and always. ❤️💚💛
