2023 Spring Lxs Jovenes Session

This vibrant, forward-thinking four week in-person program,  uses arts and technology to cultivate self-empowerment, self-expression and community care in our jovenes (youth).

These future leaders will work with local artists and community organizations to select and complete a project that positively impacts their local community while learning important life skills like financial literacy.

Alongside each Lxs Jovenes session, is the Youth Advisory Council which is a program that reaches and engages Latinx youth 9-12th grade (ages 15-18). The students are graduates of our Leadership Lab who have the experience needed to transform the Lab into a youth-led program that is more finely attuned to the youth’s needs. We will invite 5-8 students to meet twice a month at Museo after school to collaborate and decide on specific program initiatives. Not only will those students act as an advisory council for the program, but one student will also have the opportunity to become a paid intern and assist in the planning and implementation of the Leadership Lab thereby increasing their leadership skills, ability to mentor younger ones, and gaining knowledge/experience in museum and program processes.

Este vibrante programa presencial de cuatro semanas utiliza las artes y la tecnología para cultivar el auto empoderamiento, la auto- expresión y el cuidado comunitario en nuestros jóvenes.

Estos/as futuros/as líderes trabajarán con artistas locales y organizaciones comunitarias para seleccionar y completar un proyecto que impacte positivamente en su comunidad mientras aprenden habilidades importantes para la vida como educación financiera.
