Ángel González

Ángel Leopoldo González serves as a Research and Policy Fellow at the League of United Latin American Citizens office in Washington, DC. this summer. With roots connecting back to Jalisco, Mexico, Ángel’s passion for supporting Latine, immigrant, and other underserved communities has been shaped by his experience being raised by a single mother in a rural agricultural community in Eastern Washington. As a dual-enrollment student, Ángel was part of several projects where he has been able to help over 150 farm-working families in his community through a club he founded at his local community college. As a senior in high school, Ángel combatted issues of misinformation and promoted civic engagement by creating and moderating a forum for his town’s school board candidates. Now at the University of Washington in Seattle, Ángel plans to double major in business and construction management, to work on projects that create infrastructure within impoverished communities while continuing to do meaningful work as an undergraduate. As a LULAC fellow, Ángel hopes to enhance the many important skills he has adopted, such as communication and public speaking. Additionally he would like to learn how to assess the needs of struggling Hispanic communities and create solutions that address them while also learning about the many responsibilities that LULAC takes on.
