IN photos: hyla 2024
In 2024, the Hispanic Youth Leadership Academy held three sessions across the United States with students from North and Latin America. In Washington, DC, Episcopal high school students gathered to explore higher education and calling. In Nashville, United Methodist high school and college students connected around addressing issues in the church and our communities. In Austin, college and graduate students came together to imagine what’s possible for HYLA and beyond.
