We are happy to report that the 2019 Alsame Latino Youth Conference was was a huge success! We would like to thank Grand Valley State University for hosting nearly 540 students, 30 volunteers, and all of the college representatives that worked at the college fair. DJ Cesar Isabel brought the energy early in the morning and Denice Frohman delivered a memorable keynote performance. We will begin planning for the next Alsame Youth Conference but until then, we’ll take a bit of time to celebrate this year’s success.
