JCPenney designers recently attended Design Chica Week, providing invaluable inspiration to our students. Through their engaging presentations and hands-on workshops, the designers shared their expertise and passion for fashion, design and jewelry making. This experience not only showcased the creative possibilities within the field but also encouraged our students to explore their own talents and aspirations in jewelry design. We are deeply grateful to JCPenney for their support and for igniting a spark of creativity in our budding designers. Gracias, JCPenney.

Behind every success story at Latinitas is our incredible team. Meet Madison Post our Community Development Coordinator.✨ One particular moment Madison will never forget is when a student asked if she could spend her birthday with the Latinitas team. “After a day of crafts and middle school gossip, she surprised each of us with handwritten notes, expressing why we were special to her and presenting us with items that reminded her of us. It was heartwarming to see the impact we had made on her life, even if just for a moment.”🦋💜

Gracias, Impact Austin.
