Samahang Pilipino is excited to present our first youth conference, open to the youth of the greater Los Angeles community.

The vision of this youth conference is to allow the Pilipino youth of Los Angeles, to understand the significance of being a Pilipino; culturally, historically and politically. This will be an AWESOME chance for you to ask questions about who you are as a Pilipino-American and share your thoughts with your peers. In addition, we hope to promote the importance of colleges, universities and other forms of higher education for Pilipinos!
