This event is a community-based fundraiser to support the continuation of the CESOSS Cultivando Nuestro Futuro Leadership Institute now on its 8th successful cohort.  

The main purpose of this institute is to take a proactive role in the development of new generations of leaders in our communities.

Our institute is framed on traditional and Indigenous knowledge systems that are used to guide our emerging community leaders in further understanding issues related to land and water that impact New Mexican communities (e.g. water rights; land rights; food justice; environmental justice; etc.).

We also integrate the importance of legislation and local policy development into our institute. We are proud of our Leadership Institute, it’s the heart of our small, South Valley-based nonprofit.
