About the ConferenceThe Latina Youth Leadership Conference (LYLC) is designed to create a fun and safe environment where middle school and high school girls can engage in discussions about issues affecting Latina women and learn how to overcome these barriers.
We feel a personal obligation to help improve the graduation statistics of Latinas by empowering girls to succeed from a young age. The objective is to encourage young girls to establish academic goals early on, allow our sisters to be a testament to academic success in higher education, and help young students navigate the intricacies of entering college. |
