We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who joined us at the 2024 LLI Alumni Reunion! Your presence and participation made the event truly special and memorable.

Our goal has always been to create a positive impact in the world through education, and your continued support helps us move closer to achieving this mission. The stories shared and the connections made during the reunion remind us of the incredible community we have built together.

If you feel inspired to further contribute to our cause, we invite you to consider making a donation or volunteering your time and expertise. Your generosity and dedication can help us expand our reach and support even more individuals in their educational and leadership journeys.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for being a vital part of our community. Together, we can continue to make a lasting difference in the world.

And if you're a former student, you may already be a member of our new Alumni Association. It's fully integrated with the Member system, and it has its own home page and news section. We welcome brief updates and articles about what you've been doing since your LLI days.

The LLI graduation ceremony in may was held at Skagit Community College in Mount Vernon. Attendees included workshop participants, faculty, parents and friends, plus some excited children of students.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the agency’s first-ever National Environmental Youth Advisory Council (NEYAC). This is to provide advice and recommendations on how to increase EPA’s efforts to address environmental issues and give a perspective on how the impacts of climate change and other environmental harms affect youth communities.

The EPA is looking to fill 16 vacancies on the NEYAC for ages 16 to 29. There is a webinar August 7th and applications are due August 22nd. Please see the EPA website for more information.

If you are a current or former participant in Latino Leadership Initiative, you are invited to join the LLI Alumni Assn. All former speakers, organizers and staff are also encouraged to join.

We have launched with only current members already enrolled. We will be adding login data and notifying others with whom we are still in touch. If we fail to include you, it may be due to a change in your contact data; feel free to inform us using the Contact link on the About page.

The basic features of the LLI Alumni Assn. are now active. Current students are enrolled; previous students can be added (a few are named but without class years).

Members can
1. Sign into the site.
2. Create Updates (personal messages to the group with optional text, link, image). These echo on the home and Members pages.
3. Send private messages to other members.
4. Participate in the Forums, either by commenting or creating topics.

Qualified or selected members can also be given blog access, with or without prior approval.

The purpose, of course, is future recruitment and support as participants advance in their careers.

During testing & shakeout all is public; we may later put content behind login requirement. We are also not yet distinguishing active membership from alumni status, so some information may appear in both contexts.

Suggestions from active users are welcome.
