Club Latino
In 2001 Centro Campesino started a youth organizing campaign with the purpose of developing the leadership potential of kids, youth and their parents in our communities. Adults and teenage leaders coordinate and after school program called Club Latino where they serve as role models, encouraging pride in speaking Spanish as a first or second language, and practicing their cultural values and customs. Club Latino begins its 3rd year this fall with activities for more than 100 children in Owatonna, Waseca, Grass Camp and Claremont led by 30 youth and parent leaders.
Youth Organizing
Centro Campesino has always believed on the importance of creating new leaders for the movement of social justice and it is because of that that we have decided to lunch a new campaign on youth organizing. Centro Campesino's youth organizers will start a program this year where 20-30 Junior High and High school students from different towns will receive weekly training on Community organizing and Direct Action.
