The National Council of La Raza's (NCLR) Líderes Initiative is a national program designed to create opportunities for Latino youth that will elevate their influence as leaders in the United States.

2010 Lideres Summit

NCLR Annual Conference and Líderes Summit

Note the Líderes Summit begins on July 9, 2010.

The Lideres Summit at the NCLR Annual Conference brings together more than 500 students, activists, and young Latino leaders from throughout the country to participate in a comprehensive program created to meet the unique needs of young Latinos. Líderes Summit activities build up young leaders, teach them how to work with one another in teams, and challenge them to think through issues affecting Latino youth today. The Summit provides a safe space for young people to share their ideas, experiences, and concerns. Moreover, through a roster of educational workshops, students are exposed to best practices in a range of issue areas and are taught how to institute innovative programs in their home communities. Lastly, the Líderes Summit incorporates many NCLR Annual Conference events, allowing youth to partake in an invaluable networking experience.

NCLR is thrilled to host the 2010 NCLR Annual Conference and Latino Expo USA in San Antonio, a city with unique traditions, history, and world-renowned entertainment.
