A Welcome from Leader Alejandra (she/her/ella)!
Email: aceja@litlv.org
Welcome!
I am a first-generation student who received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Las Vegas- Nevada in 2022. My degree is split between Sociology and Business Administration where I hope to continue my education in law school. My end goal is to increase the percentage of Latina women who are lawyers and focus on helping those who need it the most. As a woman with a diverse background, I have learned that nothing is given and everything is earned. I have overcome the stereotypes society places on us and I only hope to use my knowledge and experiences to help the future leaders of the world. Being a Cohort 4 member myself, I am proud to be part of the success story that LIT strives to create. Being in LIT has only increased my passion for giving back to the community and pushing the next generations to do even better than I did. Joining LIT has shown me that opportunities are endless as long as you work hard enough.
My commitment to you:
This is my 2nd year as a Program Manager, and I thank all of you for everything I have learned. I am so excited to get to know all of you in more depth! I can't wait to watch all of you grow and become the best leaders possible! I am here to support you in any way I can during your time here. I will always be your biggest cheerleader.
Regular communication: message on Slack first!
Emergencies: text or call 702.449.3361 during office hours.

More events are added based on your ability to effectively communicate about missing session, parent meeting, and/or events you've signed up for. Remember, not communicating your attendance or need for transportation with the staff in charge, will result in more events added to your original 4. Want to see what you've completed? Click HERE!

Mental Health Resources
While LIT does not currently have a counselor right now, we encourage you to connect with Solutions of Change. They provide free counseling/therapy services to families who have an income of under 55k. If your family makes more than that, they will provide services at a discounted rate. The first appointment is $75 and every appointment after that is $40 - all sessions are 50 minutes.
If this is something you're interested in, you come talk to me and we'll then get in contact with Ms. Sheila from Solutions of Change. She will support you in getting the process started. Please tell her you're from LIT.
Need help? Going through a hard time or have a problem you aren't sure how to handle? Let us know!!

Good Member Standing Reminder: The ONLY way to lose your LIT Membership
From Member Contract on Home Page:
Attendance: Add all program dates and times to your calendar (located here). If you will miss a session or event, contact your Program Manager ASAP and arrange a make-up session or event. If it's an emergency and you inform your Program Manager with less than 24 hours notice you must arrange 2 make-up sessions or events within the month you missed. If you no call no show, you must arrange 2 make-up sessions or events within the month you missed and 2 no-calls no shows within a semester is automatic removal from program. *This includes regular session attendance reflected on the calendar and #6 Monthly Events below. For example, if you have a no-call no-show to a session and a no-call no-show to an event, you cannot continue for the rest of the semester because that equals 2. We want you to succeed in LIT, but we also want to prepare you for the real-world. Know what you are committing to and if something comes up, communicate and make it up and you will be fine and be practicing your advocacy core value.
Grades: You must check and turn in your grades bi-weekly (check the calendar). Students will be automatically removed from program if they have 3 total grade misses or 5 late grade turn-ins within a semester. All grade turn-in surveys are linked on your cohort's announcements page. Our theory on grades is that it's up to you to advocate for yourself and improve. We help create a system where you are accountable to both looking at them, turning them in and then doing something about it. If you are struggling and need support from a tutor to an instructional supply, let your Program Manager know. It's your job to advocate to your teachers so they know who you are, that you are trying and use all strategies from staying after school/before school, getting extra work, making up assignments, etc to fix your mistakes. Students with Ds or Fs in core courses are REQUIRED to take summer school and get the fee waiver from their school. LIT will pay for summer school only if a student's fee waiver has been denied from the school. We all review grade turn-ins at parent meetings so your parents know your progress and lying on grade turn-in only hurts yourself since this is an optional program. If you choose to lie at an optional program, our group is not for you.
