Earlier this semester, I had an amazing opportunity to meet with esteemed members of the Azteca Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering the empowerment of Mexico’s youth through education, nurturing Mexico’s future leaders for a brighter tomorrow.
The summer of 2023 served as a testament to the Center for Third Space Thinking’s unwavering commitment to nurturing leadership potential in marginalized youth. The Third Space Youth Institute had over 100 participants from various school districts, including the Riverside County Office of Education, Migrant Education; Los Angeles County Office of Education, Migrant Education; and Wallis Annenberg High School. This year marked an exciting expansion, as it was the first time Third Space collaborated with the Los Angeles Unified School District’s City of Angels School, which was made possible through a grant from the Black Student Achievement Program.
