Los Angeles, United States – January 2026 – At the Salesian Family Youth Centre in Boyle Heights, a neighbourhood on the East Side of Los Angeles, young people are empowered in many ways: by creating spaces where their voices can be heard, exposing them to new environments, walking with them in faith and training them as leaders through real-life experiences. The past week reflects how all of this comes together. For example: the Journalism Project at Bravo High School and Roosevelt High School; a visit to St Dominic Savio Parish, where they met the future leaders of Camp Savio and heard about their leadership journeys; the concert in honour of St John Bosco; community clean-up activities along Cesar Chavez Avenue; Confirmation programmes and other various initiatives. The week ended with a meeting organised by the Catholic Association of Latino Leaders, which included a dinner at the archbishop’s residence. This space fostered dialogue, connection and reflection on leadership based on faith and responsibility. At every moment \u2013 planning, writing, service, art, reflection, and leadership \u2013 the Salesian mission remains clear: to empower young people by broadening their experiences and helping their world grow. Each encounter is a step toward purpose, trust, and hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
