On March 24, 2018, the Change Agents hosted the Compton Youth Leadership Summit in hopes of inspiring the youth to become more civically engaged and empowered individuals. It was a day focused on promoting higher education and community service. Invited organizations included: California State University, Dominguez Hills, Camp Ubuntu, Organizacion Latino Estudiantil, and Girls Build LA Change Agents. Those in attendance were invited to breakout sessions to receive valuable information each organization had to offer regarding applying to college, student led organizations, the arts and service. The Keynote Address was delivered by Congresswoman Nanette Diaz Barragan; her speech inspired all to become agents of change within our community! The day culminated with a gun reform demonstration, our contribution to the March for Our Lives, which was held on the same day.
