Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice moment of celebration
I would like to celebrate the ongoing success of the Latino Youth Leadership Conference through the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center at the University of Northern Colorado. Now in its 22 year, we started the conference to compliment the Latina Youth Leadership Conference and as a way to reach young men in middle schools.
