For those of you who do not know, we are sad to announce that Mujeres Latinas en Accion has chosen to shut down Proyecto Juventud. Our last day is set to be December 31st. If you or anyone you know is interested in having any questions, comments, and concerns voiced, join us tomorrow at 11:00am and 6:00pm to meet with our new CEO and VP of Programs.
