The Strength of Support

At Camp Big Horn, a NELA student faced fear for the first time away from home, discovering courage, confidence, and the power of community that reminded him he could do hard things.

For the third year in a row, Nueva Esperanza Leadership Academy’s 7th and 8th graders took part in the Destination Imagination State Tournament. This year, they learned firsthand the power of teamwork and stepping up for one another in unexpected moments.

This past summer, NELA celebrated its largest graduating class to date with eleven students. During the 8th graduation ceremony, each student delivered a speech they had thoughtfully prepared.
