Olympia, Washington – The Evergreen State College will host the eighth annual Latino Youth Summit on November 23 in the College Recreation Center from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Other higher education institutions, including Saint Martin’s University, South Puget Sound Community College, and Centralia College, have supported and hosted the Summit throughout its eight-year history.

The Latino Youth Summit, sponsored by The Hispanic Roundtable, will bring together some 500 high school students from Thurston, Lewis, Mason, Pacific and Grays Harbor counties for a wide variety of workshops.

This year's theme, "Mis Acciones, Mi Communidad, Mi Futuro (My Actions, My Community, My Future)" particularly stresses the importance of both personal responsibility and community connections in empowering youth. The workshops will cover a multitude of topics, including applying for college and financial aid, immigration, financial literacy, insights into specific careers such as trades, teaching, public safety and health care, and fostering healthy relationships. The event also will feature a performance from local group Lozen and a plenary session called “Our Voices,â€
