Event Details

Join us for a fun and educational story crafter in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month! 

When Cesar Chavez led a 340-mile peaceful protest march through California, he ignited a cause and improved the lives of thousands of migrant farmworkers.

But Cesar wasn't always a leader. As a boy, he was shy and teased at school. His family slaved in the fields for barely enough money to survive. Cesar knew things had to change, and he thought that—maybe—he could help change them. So he took charge. He spoke up. And an entire country listened.

We will be reading Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez and learning about his inspirational story! We will then make a craft of an inspirational collage with Cesar's message Si, Se Puede! (Yes, You Can!) for our Youth Services Art Gallery!
