At OLA we know that the key to creating social change that includes young people is to ensure they are their own agents of change.

They must be the actors and leaders, not the spectators and followers.

OLA provides periodic in-school and after-school empowerment workshops, holds youth dinners facilitated by college-aged Latino students, and organizes educational forums related to the college application process.

OLA also houses a scholarship fund for students planning to further their education after high school.
