Mission Statement
This is a great way to get involved, earn service learning time for a class, meet new-potential WSU Students, learn more about Latinos In Action, but most of all giving your time in the service of helping others.
Description
Latinos In Action Conference
Latinos in Action is a nonprofit organization working to build future Latino leaders by having high school students tutor elementary school students. The LIA regional conference aims to engage and inspire students in college prep. Students will attend leadership and character development workshops and, most importantly, learn of the many resources and opportunities for student support that make a college degree a reality.
Last year, the Latinos In Action Conference had over 1,400 with the Keynote Speaker being America Ferrera from Ugly Betty. This year, we are expecting over 1,600 people attending this conference. Therefore, we are in need of volunteers.
Volunteers
Volunteers will help with check-in, directing participants to workshops, providing information to attendees, and other service as needed. We are asking that volunteers sign-up in two hour shifts (or more!).
