About the Event:

The First Youth Latinx Leadership Conference (YLLC) will be an all-day interscholastic event that will take place on April 24th 2021. Latinx clubs, organizations, and individuals from all high schools in Southern California (and beyond) are welcome to attend, and we have Latinx student leaders from 11 high schools across California on the planning board. This event will entail Latinx speakers that will lead workshops and activities in a variety of fields, ranging from journalism and advocacy to medicine and business, all with a focus on celebrating Latinidad and inspiring the next generation of Latinx leaders.
