OUR YOUTH THE CATALYST OF CHANGE...

 --------------
Through the participation of these programs, our youth build strong relationships, develop unique leadership skills, and give back to their communities. By taking the lead role, they become agents of change in their communities. 

Community Service Projects

A Day of  Dialogue
At La Convivencia, youth participate in a variety of ways to get involved in their communities. Through planning and conducting service projects such as annual Holiday Day of Service, running personal care items drive, etc., they learn and practice the importance​of the shared value of service rooted in all faiths and cultures. 
 A day of dialogue, sharing and conversation concerning the most recent occurrences in our community and world. In addition, youth learn about each other's religions and cultures by a series of moderated discussions and visiting different houses of worships and cultural centers.

Coming TOGETHER For Positive Change!
