• At the Discover Center, Motivos will officially release their new Self-Discovery themed edition and honor the young writers in their Media Mentorship Program who accomplished nationally published author status. Youth will share motivations behind their published stories and showcase their creative work. High school seniors in the program will move into paid apprenticeship positions at the magazine. Each year, 15 youth receive a one-on-one writing coach, weekly journalism training and trips to explore college and career opportunities. They are in the decision-making seats when deciding themes and content for what is now the nation’s largest bilingual magazine with youth-generated content.
• Business 101 Side Hustler Boot Camp will celebrate accomplishments of summer participants of their 30-day accelerator course designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs channel their ideas, passions, hobbies, and side hustles into viable business projects. Program graduates will receive $200 in start-up funds for their own side hustle or passion project. This course sets them up with the means to run their very own business or side hustle,” Sam Reed noted.

Video campers received instruction on videography throughout the twice-weekly six-week camp, produced and edited short videos and received a tablet upon completion of the program. Motivos Leadership Series participants went through trainings on team-building, mindfulness, reflection and future-planning in a series of three intense two-hour workshops over the course of the summer.
