A throwback to an organization filled with vibrant young people dedicated to preserving their rich heritage.

Juventud Entusiasta was the youth social organization within the Centro Asturiano de Tampa, active during the 1920s and the 1930s. This allowed children of Centro members to participate in recreational activities, encourage them to learn about their Latin culture, all while doing it alongside people that they can grow up with and gain connections with. The photos below showcase some of the many events its members enjoyed, including children's parties, theatrical performances, and costume celebrations.

Although Juventud Entusiasta is no longer an active organization, its legacy lives on through the Centro's continued commitment to honoring the generations that came before us and inspiring future generations to remain connected to this important part of Tampa's history.
