Program Information

Saber es Poder will be offered during Spring term 2024! Check back for more details soon!

What is Saber es Poder?

Saber es Poder focuses on Latine leadership, activism, and self-exploration by giving students the opportunity to connect with Latine leaders, learn from their stories, and reflect on their own personal leadership skills. In the past, participants have had the opportunity to explore both historical and contemporary leadership and activism by connecting with leaders working to create change through art, music, education, policy & governance, community organizing, activism, and more!

Through Saber es Poder, we hope to affirm that leadership can be practiced in many different ways and that leadership is for everyone, including YOU! By participating in Saber es Poder, we hope you will recognize that you have what it takes to lead!

Saber es Poder is offered as a collaborative series by Diversity & Cultural Engagement – Centro Cultural César Chávez and Community Engagement & Leadership.

Participant Quotes: 

“Learning about generational healing was very illuminating for me, this gives more strength and pride with being Latina.”

“The experiences shared had similarities and differences to my own and made me think about how they used their skills and strengths to help their community as well as how I can also do that my own way.”
