At YCU/Lider, we’ve been diving deep into the importance of Racial Justice—because understanding and speaking up against injustice isn’t just about awareness; it’s about shaping a better world. These conversations inspire us to take action for a future that’s inclusive, equitable, and just. Way to go, guys! ???? #RacialJustice #YouthEmpowerment #InclusionMatters

? Our ENLACE participants put their financial skills to the test in a hands-on budgeting activity! Using play money, they managed monthly expenses and quickly realized a powerful truth—higher education leads to higher earnings. ???? As they advanced in their "careers," their income was directly tied to their level of education. The more they learned, the more they earned—making it clear that investing in education opens doors to a better lifestyle and greater financial stability. #EducationPays #ENLACE #InvestInYourFuture #LatinoEducationInstitute
