Culture, creativity, and community came together at the Juvenile Justice Center as ACPD hosted a Latin Heritage Month Celebration in honor of Mexican Independence Day.

Youth had the opportunity to experience performances and artwork from several community members, while also sharing their own presentations and speeches throughout the celebration. Events like these create opportunities for youth to connect with their culture, express themselves, and learn from the community around them.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration possible and to the artists, presenters, staff, and youth who made the day memorable.
