Southern Oregon University is host of the annual César E. Chávez Leadership Conference. The conference is a gathering of Latinx high school students/leaders from Jackson, Josephine and Klamath county high schools. The goal of the day-long César E. Chávez Leadership Conference is to increase Latinx high school students’ preparation to become leaders and develop their knowledge about contemporary issues within the Latinx community. In addition, the conference strongly encourages Latino youth to pursue educational opportunities beyond high school. Participants attend workshops focusing on leadership, cultural arts, and college preparation. Students are assigned to groups hosted by SOU’s Latinx student ambassadors throughout the day’s events. We are expecting over 200 students this year.
