Orgullo y Educación (OYE) Conference
The OYE Latinx Youth Conference brings together over 400 youth and parents each year to explore ideas on Latinx culture and identity, obstacles Latinx community members face, and opportunities for the future through interactive workshops, keynote speakers, performers and community networking.
Recent Milestones
The Orgullo y Educación (OYE) Latinx Youth Conference first started in 2010 at the Fair Oaks Community Center organized by volunteers from the community and local community agencies.
It has grown over the past 12 years as a youth and adult led initiative and now serves more than 400 youth/young adults and parents in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks and other San Mateo County communities.
The OYE conference makes our community more welcoming for all by creating a space where youth feel welcomed and safe to explore and express their identities; discover and deepen their areas of passion and interests; and find supports to pursue their goals for the future.
OYE is an all-volunteer effort and costs for this free conference are covered through financial sponsorship.
