All Day
Multiple members of our team attended the 2018 SOMOS Puerto Rico Conference from Nov. 7th to 11th in San Juan, PR. SOMOS, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the needs of the Hispanic population of New York State and has been fighting to bring Puerto Rico back on its feet since Hurricane Maria struck the region last year. The conference served as an excellent platform for legislators, scholars, and business & labor leaders to address concerns pertinent to the Puerto Rico and the Hispanic community as a whole. SOMOS uses the funds collected through these conferences to empower youths with scholarships that encourage furthering their education, college internships to promote retention, and apprenticeships to introduce newly graduated adults into the public, nonprofit, labor, and private sectors.
