Step Up to Success

Los Barrios sponsors two youth leadership conferences per year, one in the fall for Junior and Senior High School students and one in the spring for middle school seventh and eighth graders.  The one day conferences are made possible by the financial support of various local business sponsors and by the generous community volunteers who serve as speakers. 

Step Up to Success is a community effort supported by Panhandle school districts, West Texas A&M University, Amarillo College and Region XVI Education Service Center. 

Panhandle students who attend receive information about careers, college entry and financial aid.  Students who attend "Step Up" are eligible to apply for the Los Barrios de Amarillo college scholarship.
