​The Kalpulli Leadership Program mission is to educate, organize, and empower youth ages 13 to 18 years old. In the indigenous Nahuatl language “Kalpulli” literally means “large house”.  Kalpulli’s are neighborhoods or groups organized to carry out a common purpose such cultural activities, the education, protection, or the care for community members.

In HOMEY’s Kalpulli we focus on developing its participants to critically analyze think and become leaders. We do this by conducting non-traditional workshops that focus on addressing and combating internalized oppression, discrimination, poverty, disenfranchisement and other social ills that can often take root in the Latino/a community. We engage participants in cultural and enrichment activities to foster community building, engagement and socialization.  For almost two decades HOMEY has developed many successful leaders through Kalpulli.
