We work with UWB and Felicity for our Latino Leadership Initiative program that aims to energize the Latino Community and expand the current leadership base in Skagit and Snohomish Counties. This initiative is done in partnership with Edmonds College, Skagit Valley College, and the University of Washington Bothell
The UW Bothell campus is incredibly proud of Felicity’s deep contributions to public service in collaboration with our organization, the Latino Educational Training Institute.
The UW Bothell homepage now features a story highlighting Felicity Abeyta receiving UW Bothell’s 2024 Outstanding Public Service Award in recognition of her advocacy for the Latino Leadership Initiative. See the story below!
