latin american youth center LAYC youth development latino

As part of the White House's Father's Day celebration, Emmy-award winning journalist Jorge Ramos, star professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, and Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough visited LAYC on Friday to learn about the Center's programs and talk about fatherhood. The three men spoke to a packed community room about the priority that they place on spending as much time as possible with their children.

Jorge Ramos spoke about the importance of fathers being present in their children's lives and expressing their feelings as often as possible. "Tell them that you love them," Ramos told the audience. Tony Hawk, who through his foundation has helped finance hundreds of public skate parks in low-income areas across the U.S., has involved his own children in his charitable work.
