The La Raza Youth Leadership Conference brings together young people for an inspiring and educational experience designed to foster leadership, cultural pride, and community engagement through a variety of workshops and presentations.

Previous years have included  workshops like Power of the Seed - Food Movements from Your Garden to Large Scale, focused on sustainable food practices; Ojo De Dios: Weaving Tradition and Art, which connects cultural art with personal expression; Loteria de mi Vida: Exploring Self-Expression, Identity, and Culture; and ¡Mi Fuerza!: Viviendo tus Valores y Activismo en el Trabajo, which emphasizes living one’s values through activism.

With the theme "Feathers of Knowledge, Roots of Resistance," the 2026 La Raza Youth Leadership Conference will take place in October, 2026, in Denver, CO, and is FREE to all CO high school-aged youth. Keep checking back for a list of this year's workshops and events.
