Overview

Mission

CECLC scholarship program began in 1991 and awards educational scholarships for Latino students each year.

What it reported doing in 2020

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, CECLC did not hold its traditional annual conference. Working with school districts, conference partners and host Western Oregon University a new program was launched. This one-time special edition was named the CECLC Legacy Challenge and was launched in the fall of 2020 and concluded in the spring of 2021. The CECLC Legacy Challenge asked student teams from participating school districts to develop and record a "conference workshop" on the legacy of Cesar E. Chavez. Each team should consist of a minimum of 3 students and a High School representative. Working with school staff, students were encouraged to be creative and show the impact Cesar E. Chavez has had on them, the community, and currently influencing our way of life. Recognizing that many school districts were still conducting remote and virtual learning, students could record the workshop via the tools available to them (you-tube). The workshops submitted would all be made available for viewing and launched on Cesar E. Chavez Birthday, March 31st. To recognize the student workshop entries, motivate participation, and highlight the entries that went above and beyond, the special edition awarded:$250 to early bird entries$500 to the top 10 workshopsThe top entries (first place, 2nd place, and 3rd place) received a bonus award of ($500, $350, $200)Overall the school districts were appreciative of this effort that provided an important learning opportunity, in the midst of the pandemic and distance learning. Entries were received from the following school districts: Hillsboro, Portland Public Schools, Beaverton, Linn Benton/Lincoln, and Salem Keizer. With the top entries being from Hillsboro and Linn Benton/ Lincoln.
