HAVING A VOICE:
Originally founded 20 years ago at LCC for Latino/a/x students who weren’t feeling heard, HAV, while still mostly serving the above students, has been opened to a broader range of non-Latino students who may be interested in developing greater interpersonal or leadership skills.
We encourage you to speak with students who you believe could benefit from this support and encourage their attendance at these lunch club meetings in Ms. Oehler's room 460. Your support in fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment within our student body is invaluable.
