Your dedication and commitment to serving children at the Boys and Girls Club, leading the Juntos con Orgullo school club, organizing community picnics and neighborhood gardens, inviting Latinos to join your neighborhood association, assisting one of the mayoral candidates with their Get out the Vote campaign, and many other activities show you are a worthy recipient of the Intercultural Community Engagement award.
