Youth Empowerment

APOYO’s Youth Empowerment program is committed to engaging, educating, and empowering Latinx youth at a pivotal time in the development of their leadership skills.

Established in 2024 through funding from the Inatai Foundation’s Emerging Opportunities fund, Youth Empowerment provides meaningful leadership opportunities focused on education and political participation – essential opportunities in the battle for equity and racial justice.
