Our intergenerational organizing approach is rooted in the belief that those directly affected by inequity are best positioned to lead lasting transformative change. At the heart of our youth program is recognizing that young people, given the opportunity and essential support, are ready to assume leadership roles.
The Dolores Huerta Foundation Youth Program aims to empower young individuals by providing them with the tools and resources they need to become the next generation leaders. The Youth Programs fosters a critical understanding of history and systems of inequity while serving as an immersive leadership program, emphasizing the intersection of community engagement and health/wellness while amplifying the voices of future leaders. Upon graduating from our Youth Program, youth leaders transition as members of our alumni program, often returning to volunteer or intern, becoming mentors to new generations of youth.
