Project title: Somos Familia
Project description: Somos Familia is an Oakland-based non-profit organization that supports LGBTQ+ Latinx youth and their families by providing leadership training, educational resources, and social support, all with the ultimate goal of building community and creating a culture where queer Latinx people can thrive. This summer, I am working with Somos Familia to connect various organizations and centers focused on queer well-being in the Bay as well as planning events for Somos Familia, including community meetings, leadership mixers, and fundraising events.
