Latino Youth Summit at University of Wisconsin 2025 (Selected 6th-8th Scholars Only)
GRCS scholars will participate in a two day youth summit at the University of Wisconsin.
This spring, for the second year in a row, Galapagos Rockford Charter School is participating in the Latino Youth Summit. This is an opportunity to celebrate Latinx identities, culture and heritage on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
This year’s theme will be “Encontrar tu chispa”
What is it that you are passionate about? How are ways you can cultivate that passion? Let’s explore your spark! Through culturally relevant workshops and presentations, students will explore concepts of identity, college/career preparation and Latin appreciation. By connecting students to university and community resources, people and opportunities, students can continue to grow and foster their passions and dreams beyond the summit.
Scholars will go to leave the LA on Monday, March 24 and return from Madison, WI on Tuesday, March 25.
$50 cost includes summit, transportation, hotel and food.
