Share messages of support for Latinx Youth Summit students!

Although we will not be gathering in person this year, the spirit of the Summit—community, encouragement, and empowerment—remains at the heart of everything we are planning. Our volunteers and supporters have always played an essential role in creating that experience for students, and we would love for you to still be part of the event.

One very important way you can participate is by sharing a short message of encouragement, advice, or support for the students attending the Summit. These messages will help remind participants that an entire community is cheering them on as they think about their futures in college, career, and leadership; and as they navigate the difficulties of everyday life.

If you would like to contribute a message, please do so here:

Your words—whether a few sentences of encouragement or reflections from your own journey—can make a meaningful difference to the young people attending the Summit.
