Clark County Latino Youth Conference

Mariposas internship program focuses on developing emerging Youth leaders in our community. Youth paid interns develop leadership qualities, receive mentorship opportunities and professional development, learning to grow their skill set to be better prepared when entering the workforce and life. Mariposas interns place into practice their skills through creating activities and programs centered on latinx Youth and their families.

The charlita program is a youth-led podcast to elevate Youth voice and empowerment by raising awareness on critical social issues such as environmental justice, childhood trauma, masculinity, race, culture, violence, and more and to share information and resources to build healthy and resilient communities. The charlita program engages Youth across the state and regionally.
