Latinx Heritage Awareness Program
These cultural awareness programs provide a safe place where you can learn about the diversity, cultural differences and similarities within the Latinx communities. A place where you can share your personal experiences and learn from one another; a place where you can embrace the beauty of people and their cultures. Educate Ya provides an opportunity for braking barriers and understanding the means of how to integrate into the mainstream culture in the USA, and also provides a safe place where non-Hispanic communities can learn and ask questions about the diversity that exists in Latino cultures. The Cultural Awareness Program offers three types of workshops based upon cultural diversity:
Cultural heritage awareness for latinx born in the USA.
Cultural Heritage Awareness for Latinx immigrants.
Cultural Awareness for the Oregon community on Latinx and their contributions
