I’m part of PorColombia because I believe in the potential of Colombians abroad in order to impact our country. Also, because we can create a support network for Colombian students and professionals! Wepa!

Vice President

To me it is a delight to be part of PorColombia, because I not only get to feel connected to my beautiful culture from abroad, but I get to help build a community that aims to lead Colombians in the U.S into personal and professional growth, showing the resilience, persistence and immense potential that we have. Finding PorColombia in my Sophomore year of college made me feel that warmth, passion and sabor that our community back home has and I hope to offer the same to those who join us.

Agustin Ferreira

Intern

I've found that PorColombia is a fantastic opportunity to reconsolidate my Colombian nationality and heritage, and in the process grow my leadership skills, team-working and outreach capabilities. I am 100% rolla (Colombian) by lineage, although quite conversely I was born & raised completely outside of Colombia. I think Colombians abroad have a unique and beautiful capacity to share not just their own culture with others, but the many beautiful values of it and the ability to persevere and overcome enormously large social issues and disparity. I hope that my compatriots outside just as much within Colombia, can find from within their Colombian heritage & upbringing the ways to overcome adversity and connect more with others esp. towards an end of professional development, as I have, through PorColombia, and throughout the rest of the world.

I strongly believe we can grow better as a society if we grow together !! For me, PorColombia is that connection link among Colombian college students and professionals in the U.S. that aims to collectively improve the capacities and abilities of our network and inspire us to be the best version we can be for ourselves, but most importantly for Colombia´s future. Let's keep showing what Colombians are made of !!

To me PorColombia is more than an organization, is an inspiration to give my very best and let the world know the true meaning of being born in Colombia, the values, rich culture and legacy that we carry around as a proud generation of Colombians changing the perception and improving the education for the generations to follow.

 Vice resident

PorColombia became my home away from home during my college years, greatly impacting the professional I am today. Ever since then, it became my goal to give back to an organization that gave me so much. It is with great enthusiasm that I now join the organization as a professional to continue expanding to other universities, strengthening our professional chapters, and most importantly, highly representing Colombia abroad. ¡Que Viva Colombia!
