 WELCOME

Since 1968, Sociedad Latina has been working in partnership with Latino youth to cultivate the next generation of leaders. With the support of families and the broader community, Sociedad Latina fulfills its critical mission by providing a broad array of programs that promote community leadership, civic engagement, meaningful employment, educational attainment, cultural identity and pride, and the continuation of traditions.

 
         
 

Are you Ubuntu?


This spring, girls in Sociedad Latina's Viva La Cultura! Program worked with students from Wheelock College to create works of art that examine the South African philosophy of "Ubuntu," which means "a person is a person through other persons." The Ubuntu philosophy offers insight on the interconnectedness of communities and the reverberations of our choices on the individual and community levels. To be "Ubuntu" is to identify as a member of a community and accept responsibility for that community and one another.

VLC participants applied the Ubuntu philosophy to bullying, which many reported witnessing regularly at school and in peer groups. With the goal of creating a community that can transform violence and foster positive relationships, the Ubuntu project engages youth in a collaborative art project that delves deeper into the concept.
