Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute program

MCBRE: The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute program is an ongoing effort to tap student emerging leaders to become active proponents and advocates on public policy issues of interest to them.

Fifty emerging student leaders are selected each year to participate in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's annual Public Policy Conference in Washington DC.

The students attend plenaries and issue forums covering numerous topics of importance to the Hispanic community, and spend a day in the 'Ready to Lead' program, which focuses on issues of importance to Latino youth, and how to mobilize Latino youth to become and remain engaged in crafting solutions to public policy challenges.
