Meet our incredible 2013 Confronteras Team at one of their most recent trainings in preparation for the Confronteras 2013 trip this February.
Ten local high school youth will travel to the USA-Mexico border to develop a deeper understanding of immigration, human rights and the role of state and national policy in immigration. This is an annual trip sponsored by the Child Leader Project-- a local, youth-led non-profit dedicated to creating safe spaces where young people engage issues they care about in real ways.
This will be our second delegation for Confronteras after the start of the program last February 2012. The initial idea was conceived by CLP intern and leader, Sara Crowder. Youth leaders in the Arlanza community identified "Immigration and Deportation" as a top concern for their communities. In response, CLP youth and young adults developed the Confronteras program to provide skills, life experiences and travel experiences that would address the issues that youth identified as most important to them.
