Meet LINC’s Honoree: Encantos & Susie Jaramillo!

Emmy-nominated storyteller. Artist. Director. Visionary. World-class content creator. Entertainer. Proud Venezuelan. Entrepreneur. Bilingual mom. Creative force. On a mission to enchant and inspire children with a world of culture. 

Susie Jaramillo, co-founder of Encantos, is all of these things and more!

We are honored and excited to present her with the Champion for Children Award at the LINC Gala on May 19th.

To the LINC organization, she is a steadfast ally, a fearless advocate, and a true partner. Susie has generously shared the stories of Canticos, along with her time and talents, at many LINC gatherings including high-profile, signature events such as Diversity Through Literacy and Reading on the Rails. 

To our LINC families she is the absolute highlight of any program she attends - inspiring children to see the magic in who they are and all they can be.

Susie is a true Champion for Children and we are so grateful that she and Encantos are part of our larger LINC Community. 

Please join us on May 19th!

“The best thing we can do for kids is give them a strong foundation in who they are... LINC and I share a common mission of service to our communities, and therefore I’m always happy to be a part of anything that LINC does.” - Susie Jaramillo
