Napa Valley College conference shows Latino youth the benefits of college - California

“To college or not? Thats the decision that thousands of young people make after graduating from high school and on Saturday at Napa Valley College 250 or more high school and middle school students from all over the county were given several reasons to choose the former.

The students took part in NVC’s 23rd Annual Latino Youth Leadership Conference, a series of workshops designed to encourage students to go to college that featured college staff, students and guest speakers from all facets of society.

“Our goal really is to promote higher education to Latino youth … promote career options and career possibilities,” said Alejandro Guerrero, event coordinator and outreach counselor for NVC’s College Assistance Migrant Program.”
