Presently, Creciendo Juntos – Growing Together plenary and working group meetings are open to public attendance and presentations. Please send us an email if you are planning on attending for the first time or would like to speak on your work with or about the local Latino/Hispanic community.

UPCOMING PLENARY SESSIONS

Every month, Creciendo Juntos (CJ) organizes a plenary (monthly encounter) open to the public. The plenaries are typically 90 minutes long, in the form of a workshop, panel, roundtable, or presentation, and include a question and answer or discussion period, and end with announcements. The plenaries are an important communication and training tool, providing useful information about the Latino community and the issues they confront and about programs, events, policy, and resources related to it. Overviews of plenaries are archived at http://www.cj-network.org/sessions.html Announcements for upcoming plenaries are located at http://www.cj-network.org/comm_ann.html
