Latin American Student Organization (LASO)
The Latin American Student Organization (LASO) is a rapidly growing, student-led community at Flagler College dedicated to celebrating Latin American and Hispanic culture.
What was once an inactive club has become a vibrant hub for cultural expression, leadership, and connection. Through events like Hispanic Heritage celebrations, dance workshops, and participation in local festivals, LASO creates meaningful experiences where students feel seen, valued, and connected.
Our Roar & Raise Goal
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to bring authentic Latin American and Hispanic cultural experiences to campus.
These funds will support:
- Traditional dance workshops including Salsa, Bachata, Tango, Bomba, and Reggaetón
- Cultural events that celebrate heritage and community
- Free food tastings featuring dishes like empanadas, arepas, pastelitos, arroz con pollo, maduros, and tres leches
- Partnerships with local businesses and cultural leaders
Why Your Support Matters
Your support allows LASO to create immersive cultural experiences that educate, unite, and celebrate the diversity within the Flagler community.
With your help, we can:
• Expand cultural programming and student engagement
• Strengthen connections between students and the local St. Augustine community
• Support local businesses through partnerships and events
• Build a sustainable organization that continues to grow and serve future students
Every gift directly enhances student experiences and helps bring culture, connection, and community to life on campus.
