“It’s amazing. If you have never been to D.C., you’re going to be even more thrilled and wowed by the beautiful scenery. The R2L program is challenging, yet fun and rewarding and it is also a place where you can see yourself in other leaders. Even if you are interested in congress or not, you’re surrounded by like-minded individuals who value most of the same things as you, and if you live in an area where you don’t see many other Latinos, it is so refreshing.”
