The La Raza Youth Leadership Institute Board of Directors would like to thank the Liaisons and organizations that participated in the 2011 conference. Through your involvement, our conference continues to be a success. We understand Liaisons work very hard in assisting students to participate in this conference and look forward to seeing you in April. We hope that we can continue our collaboration and enhance the development of our Raza youth. The conference has been able to provide thousands of Chicano/a, Latino/a, Mexicano/a students a one-day conference filled with workshops on Leadership, Careers, Self-Esteem, and Cultural Awareness.
This year it is our honor to announce a new partnership that will enrich the learning experience for our participants. The La Raza Youth Leadership is partnering with The Rodolfo Corky Gonzales Symposium and will now offer an independent track of multi-media, student generated learning circles that will center on the concepts, philosophy and history of one of the Chicano Movement’s most dynamic leaders and personalities: Colorado’s own Rodolfo Corky Gonzales.
We are excited to continue the tradition and are happy to announce the:
