A day our youth won't forget! ⚽✨ Our girls' soccer players had the chance to meet Washington Spirit players, ask questions, and receive donated soccer cleats and athletic gear. The experience was filled with inspiration, encouragement, and plenty of smiles. Thank you, Washington Spirit, for supporting our young athletes and showing them what's possible both on and off the field! 💚 #WashingtonSpirit #LAYC #YouthSports #GirlsInSports #CommunityPartnership #EmpowerYouth by @laycdc

¿Qué puedes hacer hoy para mejorar tu situación económica? Fuimos al Latin American Youth Center para un panel de poderosas líderes latinas y un taller de educación financiera. Lupi Quinteros-Grady, presidenta de LAYC, destacó que son líderes en la comunidad con historias muy inspiradoras, con voces de distintos sectores, desde educadores en Maryland hasta expertos financieros de DC. En el taller, explicaron el valor de tener metas con tus ahorros, y que guardar un poquito cada mes puede hacer una gran diferencia. En el panel hablaron de la importancia de tener un mentor y de no tener miedo de pedir ayuda. "Si necesitan ayuda, búsquenla, hay tantos recursos y apoyos, así que sigan adelante", dijo la Dra. Eunice Humphrey, de Prince George's County Public Schools.
