The Annual Cumbre Juvenil is a social justice conference for high school youth who speak Spanish.

We aim to strengthen communication between generations by empowering youth voices and authentically honoring cultural identities.

This year's ACJ is reserved for High School Students only and capacity is for 100 students, register now to save your spot!

The ACJ is open to youth of all genders, gender-identities, and expressions. This conference is centered for Indigenous/Chicanx/Xicanx youth and terminology for identity is for youth to explore for their own identity formation. This includes the spectrum of colonial identities such as Hispanic, Latino, and Mestizo. *Identity formation can be a tricky thing to navigate at any age, particularly as a youth - for this reason we are intentional of autonomy to explore and learn about your identity in this space.
