On July 19, <strong>2023</strong>, The Majid Sadigh MD Global<br />
Health Academy opened its doors to host the<br />
first of many educational projects. Our inaugural<br />
class consisted of six high school students from<br />
the local latinX communities of Danbury. The<br />
students engaged in a four-week diversified curriculum which included field trips<br />
to local establishments as well as attending workshops moderated by latinx<br />
community leaders discussing the importance of sound leadership, goal setting,<br />
financial literacy, civic engagement, and health and wellness. The Youth Academy<br />
for Latino Leaders (Y.A.L.L) is designed to be longitudinal in design and to instruct<br />
the students to accomplish their scholarly activities optimally throughout their<br />
high school years as well as welcoming a new cohort of incoming first year high<br />
school students each summer. The reflections provided by the students at the<br />
conclusion of the 4 weeks, will help us to improve the program’s curriculum each<br />
year. We are forever grateful to the vision of the DCC leadership including Eva<br />
Duran, Elvis Novas, Jason Nova, and of course Javier Rincon. We look forward to<br />
continued collaboration and partnership for many years to come.<br />
