Your Next Adventure? NextGen Latino Leadership Program.
Have you ever dreamed of visiting our nation’s capital and learning about how our government works? CHCI has an all-expenses paid leadership experience designed just for Latino high school students. Spend a week exploring Washington, D.C., while creating lasting friendships and wonderful memories. Participate in NextGen Latino Leadership program and make this a summer to remember!
Realize Your Voice Matters
As young Latinos, you may think your voice isn’t important or can’t be heard. We challenge this belief during CHCI’s NextGen Latino Leadership program. You will talk to Latino leaders who value your ideas and opinions and will motivate you to get involved in your community to make sure your voice is heard.
Spark Your Passion for Civic Engagement
Through the various interactive learning opportunities, you will better understand some of the top issues that face the Latino community. You will learn how you can be leaders of change in your community. You will also be inspired by the success stories of the speakers you will meet—including many CHCI Alumni—who have dedicated their lives to creating a better world for us all.
Meet Other Emerging Latino Leaders
During the NextGen Latino Leadership program, you will be joined by Latino high school students from across the country. By spending a week together, you’ll make a lot of great new friends. Plus, you’ll meet successful Latino leaders, CHCI Alumni and staff, some of whom may be references for college applications and future jobs.
Start Preparing for College
Applying for the NextGen Latino Leadership program is great practice for your future college applications! We ask for much of the same information you will need to begin applying to schools—basic personal information, three short essays, a copy of your high school transcript, a personal recommendation, and a résumé.
