Advocacy & Civic Engagement
Adult Leadership Program
When do I become a leader? If you have ever said, “I care about my community” or “What can I do to help my community?” then you are already a leader. These trainings are designed to give you tools to understand how community decisions are made and how community, social and political systems work. The training will teach you how to engage with and play a part in the greater community. The program cycle runs for one year, but our goal is for you to acquire skills that will motivate you to speak up, participate and be an active advocate for your community. This training will empower you to be La Voz (The Voice) of your community.
Program Details

La Voz de la Comunidad
“The Voice of the Community” is your opportunity to become active and engage in activities to help make positive changes in your community! The group meets on the third Tuesday of the month at the Consejo Hispano office.
Each meeting starts with a short presentation by a community leader or policy maker from a local government, social services or education agency. The meeting provides a platform for the Hispanic community to learn how our local institutions work while at the same time providing direct input that helps influence local policies.
The group actively assists Consejo Hispano by helping to identify priorities and needs. In response, we design programs and services that result in greater outcomes.
