‘To enrich and empower
young Latinas through
mentors, education and awareness’ 

The Wyoming Latina Youth Conference is for girls in grades 5 through 12. At the conference, we'll discuss issues special to this group of young women including:

• Educational resources, study tips, and motivation.
• Teen Pregnancy
• Social Networking/Bullying
• Careers
• Cultural
• Optional Dance Workshop
• And much more!

The conference is also a chance to meet other girls across the state and learn from their experiences by taking part in exciting and fun social events.

Parents: The Friday night Banquet and Saturday Latin Jam Concert are a great opportunity to experience these events with your child. It is recommended that a chaperone accompany 5th-8th grade students to the banquet and concert.

This year's featured banquet speaker is Julianne Escobedo Shepherd.
