LULAC Youth Council at Union High School
Welcome to the LULAC Youth Council at Union High School—part of the Evergreen School District and proudly overseen by LULAC Council #47013.
Established in 2024, our Youth Council is home to a diverse group of 30 active students who lead and inspire their peers through education, advocacy, and community service. Each year, these young leaders set their own agenda, elect their own officers, and work collectively to make a positive impact both on campus and in the broader community.
Why Join the LULAC Youth Council?
Leadership Development: Members gain valuable leadership skills by holding officer positions, planning events, and collaborating with community partners.
Education & Advocacy: Through workshops, volunteer opportunities, and mentorship, students learn how to advocate for themselves and their communities.
Community Engagement: We encourage civic participation and cultural awareness, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
Monthly Saturday Workshops & Mentorship
We host monthly Saturday workshops aimed at empowering youth with tools and knowledge for future success. To enrich these sessions, we seek community leaders and professionals willing to mentor or speak to our council. If your organization or business would like to get involved, please reach out—we welcome your expertise and support.
