We have witnessed the needs of the youth change through the years and we want to meet those needs. Moving forward, we will work with a smaller group of youth leaders who have consistently displayed the dedication and ability to help us lead Move Mountains and their community into a more just and sustainable world.īeginning in August of 2019 and continuing into 2020, we will be rolling out a new youth leader program focused on career exploration and development. We are at the point where we have an exciting opportunity to focus in and deepen our impact with the most engaged youth leaders.
Through ongoing assessments of our work and feedback from the youth and community, we feel that Move Mountains is at a pivotal point. The youth of San Luis have had opportunities to share their stories and raise their voices across Colorado and their communities including at school board meetings, town hall gatherings, and the Colorado Appellate Courts in the fall of 2018. We have worked with the youth of San Luis to foster civic engagement, academic success, and an understanding of the connections between identity and history. We have seen the impact of the annual July leadership program and have worked to expand and deepen our impact through monthly activities for the community during the school year.
Since the summer of 2014, the Move Mountains Project has worked with 5 groups of youth leaders in San Luis, Colorado. Including Woodbine Ecology Center, Adaptive Sports Center and more.Ī message from Shirley Romero Otero, PresidentĪnd Miguel Huerta, Secretary of the Board Move Mountains will also have larger, open trips for the youth of San Luis and the surrounding Culebra communities as space is available.
