Adelante, Latinos! is an all-volunteer committee within the Glendale Unified School District dedicated to the advancement, support and success of all students of Hispanic/Latinx heritage in GUSD schools. Through Oct. 15, Adelante, Latinos! is sponsoring a speaker series of 10 webinars, two each week, for Hispanic Heritage month. The theme this year for Hispanic Heritage Month is “Hispanics: Be Proud of Your Past, Embrace the Future.” Many leaders in the local community who are willing to share their Hispanic/Latinx heritage, both in terms of how it has shaped them and also how it has shaped what they do in and for this community and Los Angeles, will be speaking.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions this will be a virtual event.

Each speaker will speak for 20-30 minutes and then students will be able to ask questions either in the chat or live. This virtual platform will be an opportunity to allow the speakers to connect with the students in a more personal way than in a large auditorium. Students, families, teachers and community members are invited to log into the webinars. Recordings will also be available on the Adelante, Latinos! Facebook page at a later date.

Those who have questions or would like to join Adelante, Latinos! please contact Christine Benitez at cbenitez@gusd.net.
