Youth Leadership Program

About the Program

The Youth Leadership Program is an eight-month training program to develop organizing skills and a civic conscience in young people. Through lectures, group activities, workshops, and presentations from community leaders, students are exposed to grass-roots, community-led political change and are given a chance to participate in CARECEN’s own campaigns.

Details

  • Young people ages 12-17 can participate
  • Group meets twice a week at CARECEN
  • First-come, first-served

For more information, reach out to Rocio Veliz at [email protected] or Jennifer Carcamo at [email protected]. 

Program Projects

Below are some of the projects and digital artwork created by participants in our youth leadership program after learning and practicing their Photoshop, video editing, and film-making skills.

Youth Leadership 2016-2017

Youth Leadership 2015-2016

Program participants from 2015-2016 contributed to CARECEN's TPS to Residency Now! campaigns by producing a series of campaign postcards and posters using Photoshop that we're featured on the Residency Now! website.

Here's an example of the one of the postcards they produced:
