Raíces de Esperanza: Latino/Hispanic Professional Panel

Raíces de Esperanza: Latino/Hispanic Professional Panel

Calling all Latinx/Hispanic high school students in Washington!

Join us for our last session in our Raíces de Esperanza bilingual series where you will hear Latino/Hispanic professionals in various fields talk about the path to their careers!

Raices de Esperanza is a virtual program created to empower and motivate Latinx/Hispanic high school students who are interested in pursuing higher education. Co-led by Latino UW staff and students, each session will cover a different college or career-related topic such as cultural storytelling, identity exploration, how to get involved in your communities, professional panels, and cultivating skills for wellness and post-secondary success. High school students of all grades are welcome to participate.

Latinx/Hispanic students include but are not limited to the Mexican, Puerto Rivan, Cuban, Dominican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Honduran, Peruvian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Argentinian, Chilean, and other Latin American or Caribbean heritages. This community also embraces students from Afro-Latinx, indigenous Latin American, and mixed-race backgrounds. People of all identities are welcome to join and engage.

This program is open to all students in grades 9-11. However, students from Hispanic and Latino backgrounds may find this program of particular interest.
