Alianza Youth Council
Youth leaders seeking social justice and community wellness
Our Values
Community
We value our sense of community. We are proud of where we come from and we actively focus on improving our communities.
Culture
We value and respect the many cultures that comprise Latino identity and challenge ourselves to learn from the points of views of others.
Identity
We embrace our Latino identity. We continuously learn about ourselves and develop our sense of identity so we can in turn serve others.
Resilience
We are resilient leaders in our community. We build the skillsets needed to recover quickly from difficulties we face in school, at home, and in throughout our lives.
“Alianza means to me a group of teens who give second chances to anyone, and is able to open opportunities to anyone of any background. A community that unites the Latino community.”
