Redefining Youth Leadership

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Louisa Ortega, Executive Director of the Chicano Latino Youth Leadership Project to explore student activism. Dr. Ortega discusses how modern students are leveraging social justice education and the 4Cs framework:Culture, Community, Civic Engagement, and College readiness to demand accountability and drive change. From historic walkouts to the halls of the State Capitol, we examine how fostering a sense of belonging and agency is creating the next generation of leaders to move beyond the classroom and into the center of civic power.
