The Young Professionals Program - Jóvenes Profesionales

The Young Professionals Program - Jóvenes Profesionales The Latinx Youth Leadership Conference is a part of the Latino Youth Program at La Oportunidad, a nonprofit organization located in Minneapolis, MN.

The Young Professionals Program (Jóvenes Profesionales) was created to help eliminate barriers Latino students face to complete their high school education, to pursue a post-secondary education, and to prepare them for the future. The Latinx Youth Leadership Conference is an annual conference, planned by and for Latino youth, consisting of workshops, presentations, and activities that promote yout

h development, leadership, and positive cultural identity. In this forum, Latino youth learn from others and share their perspectives and experiences regarding the peaceful development of their lives and community. 250 Latinx middle and high school youth attend this conference annually. What makes this a one-of-a-kind event is that it is planned by a leadership team of Latino high school students who meet weekly for 8 months to plan and develop all conference elements.

✨Today was an unforgettable day!✨

We had the honor of hosting Eder Castillo, an Assistant County Attorney from Hennepin County, who shared his incredible knowledge with our Washington Tech students about current immigration laws. He provided valuable insights into U & T visas and their impact on the Latinx community.

Eder’s connection with our students was absolutely inspiring—they felt heard, seen, and empowered. The questions kept coming at the end of the session, and he answered every single one with so much care and expertise. 💬💡

We are beyond grateful for Eder’s time, knowledge, and dedication to supporting our community. ¡Mil gracias, Eder, for making such a difference in our students' lives! 🙌💙

🌟 What an incredible end to an amazing summer program! 🌟

Today, as a special thank you for their hard work and volunteer efforts, we took our students on a day filled with adventure and discovery. Our journey began at Minneopa State Park, where we marveled at the stunning waterfalls and got up close with the bison on the Bison Drive 🦬.

Next, we climbed the Hermann Heights Monument in New Ulm, taking in the breathtaking views and soaking in the history of this iconic site. Our day continued at Flandrau State Park, where we relaxed in the beautiful weather 🌞.

To wrap it all up, we treated ourselves to some delicious ice cream 🍦 and strolled through the charming historic downtown of New Ulm, learning about its rich history.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our students who participated in our summer activities and contributed to the community through volunteering. You’ve made this summer unforgettable! We can’t wait to see you next year for even more adventures! 🎉

🌟 What an amazing day with our summer youth group! 🌟

Today, our incredible team of students did a phenomenal job cleaning up the Shingle Creek bike trail and walk path. In just a few hours, they dove into bushes and forests, picking up all the garbage they could find. 🗑️🌳

Overall, our team collected a huge amount of waste that was polluting the creek and the environment. 🌍✨

Special shoutout to our 1st place team winners, Joffre & Bryan, and our 2nd place team, Jose, Leo & Luz! 🥇🥈

Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and dedication. Let's keep making a difference together! 💪❤️

Today was absolutely amazing! Our youth group volunteered at Feed My Starving Children, packing meals for families in Cuba. 🌎❤️ It was an eye-opener, making us realize how privileged we are and how important it is to give back. By the end of the day, we packed a whopping 3,456 meals that will bring hope and nourishment to those in need. 💪✨ The energy was incredible, and the experience unforgettable!
