The Youth Awardees are selected from more than 10,000 applicants. In addition to the Health Care category, Youth Awardees are honored in Business, Math & Engineering, Education, and Community Service. The 13th Annual Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards Regional Ceremonies kicked off today in Houston, and through the rest of the year will also take place in New York City; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Miami; Denver; Phoenix; Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Calif., and Dallas. One recipient will be selected in each of the categories from the pool of regional recipients and flown to Washington, D.C., for the National Youth Awards Ceremony featuring celebrities and Members of Congress.
After receiving the awards, students are also funneled into HHF's leadership cycle which includes the Latinos On Fast Track (LOFT), providing leadership training and workforce development in various fields including health care. The students are also featured in public awareness campaigns to provide inspiration to other youth and shatter negative stereotypes about Latinos.
