The Líderes Summit brings together nearly 500 youth from across the nation to engage in a four-day program aimed to stimulate their minds, hone leadership skills and teamwork abilities, support discussions focusing on issues that plague the Latino community and help them examine ways to become more active and empower others in their communities.
We have a different way doing things, too. Each year a group of young people from across the country are chosen to lead the Summit. This year’s 12 Latino youth have been selected to lead what is sure to be an exciting Summit. Scroll down to meet the 2011 Líderes Summit Staff. We’ll see you at the Summit July 22–25 in Washington, DC!
