I was proud to join Madre Latina for a wonderful evening celebrating some of Waterbury's exceptional young scholars. Madre Latina is a local organization dedicated to empowering generations of Latinos to pursue higher education, skilled trades, and good-paying apprenticeship opportunities.
It was especially meaningful to recognize two of our brightest stars with brand-new laptops to support them on their journeys toward success. The energy in the community room at Now Inc. was inspiring as we honored all of the students for their hard work and achievements.
Events like this highlight why continued investment in our youth is so important—they are the future of our community, and their potential is limitless.
