The 2023 - 2024 LLI cohort is being formed and the students are eager to begin! The first group session for the three schools, Edmonds College, Skagit Valley College, and University of Washington Bothell, will begin January 6th with our group Orientation!

For Edmonds College, the program will begin with Orientation on Saturday, January 6th, and the leaders will strive to meet with Edmonds College students beforehand to let them know about the program.

For Skagit Valley College, winter quarter for Latino Leadership Initiative begins 1/13/24. Their focus this quarter will be to begin exploring and planning for the start of their team service projects that will be presented to community members as well as having their classmates interview a Local Leader. They would like to highlight that they have a great team of 15 students of all ages and backgrounds who are passionate about learning skills to better serve our Latino community and who are eager to begin to work on their service project. They just completed Fall quarter where we focused on Latino history, leadership and the understanding of community needs.

The University of Washington Bothell LLI cohort will start the week of January 8th - 12th. In the past UW Bothell has been a proud partner of Bothell High School, mentoring Latinx students and this year our community service project will continue to reflect the combined interest of the cohort for how they want to support the Latinx community.
