Mission accomplished! WordPress Youth Day Nicaragua (WPYDNI) is an event organized by a group of volunteers from the Nicaraguan WordPress community, supported by the WordPress LATAM community, and sponsored by WordPress community members around the world, Global community sponsors and local companies. Our mission is clear: to promote the use of technology and make technological education accessible to future generations. ### WPYD 2025: A Landmark Success The 2025 WPYD, held on October 11th in Managua, Nicaragua, was a tremendous landmark for our community. We hosted **75 young people aged 8–20** years old, supported by **10 organizers, 15 local volunteers, and 16 speakers** from across LATAM. **Empowering the Next Generation:** Two groups of attendees successfully created their own working WordPress websites! More than **50 young people** learned how to build professional portfolios and online stores. The speakers gave great tips and feedback on how to create a compelling website, from initial design to publishing. **Teenage Speakers Inspire:** A true highlight was our three **teenage speakers, aged 12-14**, who led talks on security, finance, and web tools. It was wonderful to see them confidently share their knowledge. They left the event feeling motivated, expressing their desire to start a WordPress club in their local area! WPYDNI25 had a full, dynamic agenda. The sessions and chosen topics were carefully separated by age group to best match the needs of each young attendee. (You can take a look at the full agenda here.) ### **The Launch and Impressive Growth** This success was built on the foundation of our initial launch in **2024** with ** 35 attendees aged 8 to 15** years old. The positive feedback from children and parents was instantaneous. In fact, parents who attended our first event were so inspired that they wanted to volunteer for the 2025 event, helping to promote it across their businesses and neighborhoods! We were thrilled to see this community support pay off in 2025, allowing us to meet our goal and **double the attendance** compared to the previous edition. ### **A Community Effort** The positive feedback from the children and parents was overwhelming and motivates us to continue! We owe a special thank you to the speakers from the WordPress LATAM community who joined us: **Karen Mendez (Venezuela), Pamela Miralles (Guatemala), Paola Zorro (Colombia), Alfredo Navas (Costa Rica), Lilliam Montoya (Costa Rica), Misael Campos (Honduras), and Ramon Corrales (Panama).** They truly embodied “volunteering with a purpose,” contributing their knowledge directly to future generations. Finally, **WordPress Youth Day Nicaragua** was made possible thanks to every organizer and volunteer who dedicated their time. A huge thank up to our Nicaraguan organizers who poured months of effort into the event: **Alex Cuadra, Mario Rocha, Aura Lila Gutierrez, Valeria Pilarte, Marvin Gonzalez, Misael Campos, Juan Tijerino, Marconi Poveda, and Karen Torres**. We also had incredible support from our young WordPress community volunteers: **Lavinia, Seyling, Roger, Rene, Lucia, Maria, Steven, Ailin, Lourdes**, and many more!
