The Future of Latino Youth in Pittsburgh

The Future of Latino Youth, or F.L.Y.,  is a youth-led program grounded in the empowerment of Latino voices and stories. This program equips a team of young adults with the necessary tools to dream, design, and develop a plan to make a positive change in society. Each member has a unique story and strength that helps them to make their mark on society. With an emphasis on education, F.L.Y. Pittsburgh aims to create a better future for the Latino community by teaching the lessons we learn.

“My background gives me an insight on the hardships the latino community faces. I grew up in Pittsburgh but I am originally from Bolivia. I joined FLY so I could be part of a group of youth leaders that have the same goals and values as me. I know that being a part of such an empowering team will give me the opportunity to help improve the lives of other young people like me. I am proud to be a Latina because of our loving and supportive community.”
