🌟 October Spotlight: Rising Stars in Our Community!🌟

This month, we’re excited to shine our spotlight on two outstanding young leaders making a significant impact: Representative Arturo Alonso and Jessica Cifuentes!

These incredible individuals are not just inspiring change; they're paving the way for future generations.

Arturo is one of Oklahoma’s youngest elected officials, proudly representing House District 89. As a first-generation American from South Oklahoma City, he’s dedicated to amplifying his community's voice and fighting against systemic inequities. His journey exemplifies resilience and determination!

Jessica is a true trailblazer in education and public service. With over $500,000 in scholarships to attend Emory University, she’s now making strides in the cardiovascular operating room at INTEGRIS Baptist Heart Hospital. Notably, she’s also the first Guatemalan elected to serve on the OKCPS Board of Education!

Together, Arturo and Jessica are passionate mentors in the Southside Robotics Club, inspiring young minds to explore STEM and leadership. Their commitment to education, innovation, and community service is a shining example for us all.

Join us in congratulating Arturo and Jessica as they continue to rise and inspire! Keep an eye on these stars as they lead the way for a brighter future! Felicidades!🌟✨

changes people, and Cohort IV reminded us just how powerful that can be!

In June, we celebrated the graduation of 19 mentees and 19 mentors who built real connections, shared stories, and opened doors for one another.

Thank you to everyone who was part of Cohort IV. Your commitment, heart, and presence made this program what it is. We’re also grateful to Cocina de Mino for sponsoring the event and to Representative Arturo Alonso for recognizing each participant with a special citation.

This work matters, and we’re just getting started!
