Expanding Leadership Pathways for the Young Voices of South Omaha
Youth Activators will help guide what comes next for the Plaza de la Raza: the programming they want to see, the spaces they want to build, and the community they want to grow. Because this is their city too, and they deserve to lead in what it becomes.
