Join visionary educational leaders who are committed to advancing equity and excellence in education for Latinx communities at CALSA’s Summer Institute 2024: Collective Corazón: Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Change!

With unwavering determination and a shared sense of purpose, we will convene in beautiful San Diego, June 27th - 29th, to confront the systemic barriers that impede the academic success and socioemotional well-being of all students, especially our Latinx youth. Through collaborative dialogue, innovative strategies, and the collective strength of our corazón, participants will learn strategies to dismantle institutional inequities, foster inclusive learning environments, and empower all students to reach their full potential. With a focus on advocacy, leadership development, and community engagement, #SI2024 will inspire transformative change in educational policies, practices, and perceptions so that ALL students thrive.


CALSA Summer Institute (SI) will provide a venue for educational leaders to access solutions and strategies necessary to address the needs of all students, but with special emphasis on Latino/a students. The SI will continue to promote CALSA’s values of mentoring, advocacy, networking, leadership development, and Familia through the high-impact program of activities scheduled.
