This paper highlights Latinx youth’s community engagement and activist identities during their participation in CHANCE ( Campamento Hispano Abriendo Nuestro Camino a la Educación), a college access program at UNC Greensboro. We examined Latinx youth’s activist identities using critical qualitative inquiry. Findings reveal collective consciousness and responsibility to the Latinx community. Implications and significance for higher education demonstrate how college access pathway programs, such as CHANCE, reinforce Latinx students’ scholar-activist identities
