Every Wednesday, a dynamic series of classes brings together community members to cultivate grassroots leadership through empowerment, dialogue, and culturally relevant education. Rooted in the belief that knowledge is power and best shared collectively, the program covers essential topics like Emergency Preparedness, Workers’ Rights, Immigrant Rights, and the History of Civil Rights Movements. Drawing from Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Tara Yosso’s Cultural Wealth Model, the classes emphasize mutual learning, cultural pride, and real-world application. 

Far more than traditional instruction, this initiative fosters a participatory learning environment where community voices shape the dialogue. Participants gain practical tools and the confidence to become change agents in their families, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Ultimately, this is not just an educational series, it’s a movement to empower our communities to lead with knowledge, strength, and unity.

Our Cultivando Liderazgo Class meets every Wednesday, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm in our office, join us!

Todos los miércoles, una dinámica serie de clases reúne a miembros de la comunidad para cultivar el liderazgo comunitario mediante el empoderamiento, el diálogo y la educación con relevancia cultural. Basado en la convicción de que el conocimiento es poder y se comparte mejor colectivamente, el programa abarca temas esenciales como la preparación para emergencias, los derechos de los trabajadores, los derechos de los inmigrantes y la historia de los movimientos por los derechos civiles. Basándose en la Pedagogía del Oprimido de Paulo Freire y el Modelo de Riqueza Cultural de Tara Yosso, las clases enfatizan el aprendizaje mutuo, el orgullo cultural y la aplicación práctica.

Mucho más que la instrucción tradicional, esta iniciativa fomenta un entorno de aprendizaje participativo donde las voces de la comunidad influyen en el diálogo. Los participantes adquieren herramientas prácticas y la confianza para convertirse en agentes de cambio en sus familias, lugares de trabajo y comunidades. En definitiva, esta no es solo una serie educativa, sino un movimiento para empoderar a nuestras comunidades y que lideren con conocimiento, fuerza y unidad.

Nuestra clase Cultivando Liderazgo se reúne todos los miércoles de 18:00 a 20:00 h en nuestra oficina. ¡Únete a nosotros!

Workplace Rights Ambassador Project (WRAP)

Universidad Popular invites you to participate in our Workplace Rights Ambassador Project (WRAP). The Workplace Rights Ambassador Project (WRAP) is an initiative that seeks to build a bridge between the Labor Commissioner’s Office and workers who have been negatively impacted at their workplace.

The training will take place in person and in Spanish once a month, over the course of five months. Upon completing the training, participants will receive a certificate and be prepared as Workplace Rights Ambassadors from the California Labor Commission.

We highly recommend this training program to young workers and immigrants who have recently joined the workforce and need to be educated on their workers rights. Though they are impactful drivers in the economy, the young workforce and immigrant community is often being exploited in the workplace. This can be a result of minimal education surrounding workers rights and a general fear of retaliation in the workplace. If you know someone who could benefit from this training, send them over.

To register for the training click here.

For additional information and questions please contact Francisco at [email protected] or call 760.670.6759
