The LULAC Youth Convening begins Wednesday, June 17, and concludes Friday, June 19. Designed for Latino teens, college students, and young professionals, the convening brings together emerging leaders from across the country to build practical leadership, advocacy, and professional skills they can take back to their schools, campuses, workplaces, and communities. This inaugural session sets the tone with a simple truth: the Latino experience has always been rooted in fearlessness, the decision to leave, to rebuild, and to reclaim what was taken. That same courage lives in this generation, ready to turn identity, culture, and pride into action and solutions. Participants will hear directly from LULAC leaders, advocates, and changemakers investing in the next generation of Latino leadership.
