Celebración 2020-2021
January 29-31, 2021
(Virtual Program)
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Keeping with its more than 40 years of leadership tradition, and asserting its core beliefs and community purpose, NHI cordially invites its members from across the Americas to Celebración in January 2021. The NHI program calendar culminates in the annual gathering of all generations at Celebración.
NHI was founded for the purpose to develop community leaders in response to a rapidly expanding Latino/a/x community. To ensure the best possible candidates for civic and community leadership roles in the future, the organization focuses on providing educational opportunities for high-performing youth high school and college students. Each level of training for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students is engaged in specific skill and capacity building learning experiences. The use of Third Reality as a training concept clearly urges the adoption of community equity building as a preferred outcome of community engagement rather than social advocacy and reform. The Celebración experience serves as a means of conveying NHI’s mission to the public and also widening support for its future growth.
The NHI family has much to observe and reflect upon from this past year as well as remember loved ones in quiet reverence. However, we also take to heart the continuing life challenges of encountering the future and affirming that we have both the strength of skills and the heart for forge better, more fulfilling lives.
