[APPLICATIONS OPEN ONLY FOR COLOMBIANS]
Applications for the 2027.1 LALA Camps are currently closed for the general public. In light of the recent earthquake in Colombia and the impact these circumstances have had on many families and communities, LALA has decided to reopen applications exclusively for Colombian youth from August 13 to August 28, 2026. This initiative seeks to ensure that more young leaders from Colombia have access to opportunities for leadership development, community support, and personal growth. In addition, a limited number of full scholarships will be available for selected participants in the virtual leadership camps. If you are not awarded a full scholarship, you will still be eligible for our need-based financial assistance. LALA is committed to ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent young leaders from Colombia from joining our ecosystem.
