Jovenes Activos wrapped up their Summer Program with a celebration on Thursday July 11th, 2024! Throughout the summer, 50 youth learned the history, advocacy, and importance of registering to vote. They learned this through animation and podcasting workshops, and two awesome trips to our very own San Jose City Hall, and the Cartoon and art Museum in San Francisco! ¡Jóvenes Activos concluyó su Programa de Verano con una celebración el jueves 11 de julio de 2024!

When we see our youth thrive, we see our mission in action! We know we get closer to achieving our mission when we witness our leadership pipeline in real time watching as our own youth get to celebrate their promotions. This year was extra special, celebrating two of our youth who began their journey in Bridge to Kinder, a program ran by our Family Resource Centers focused on supporting incoming kindergartners in preparing for school and becoming lifelong learners. Now, over a decade later these same youth are graduating, starting their higher education journey and for one youth, is now the first in her family to represent them in the voting polls! Join us in celebrating our youth and share with the youth in your life so they know that they too can find community at SOMOS!
