 Chavez was co-founder and president of the United Farm Workers, leading the 
 union from the 1960s to his death at age 66 in 1993 and organized farm 
 workers in several states. In 2000, Governor Gray Davis signed SB 984, 
 asking that school districts give an hour of instruction in all schools 
 around Chavez's March 31 Birthday about the UFW founder's lessons on 
 non-violence, self-sacrifice and social justice. Then, in the afternoon, 
 students are to engage in some form of public service appropriate for their 
 age and grade called the Cesar Chavez Day of Service of Learning. 
 \n\n“The Cesar E. Chavez Youth Leadership Conference supplements what 
 most school districts do on or around March 31 – his birthday and acts as 
 a primer for learning”, said, Aguilera, also the conference coordinator, 
 “We ask parents, students, educators and business and community leaders 
 to come out and volunteer their time to teach and learn from each other on 
 both days.” \n\nWorkshops for parents, students, educators and business 
 and community leaders will include a seminar on student financial aid and 
 scholarships and career information workshops including law, journalism, 
 military, teaching, social welfare, art, music and dance, medicine, law 
 enforcement and pro athletes. \n\nThe Conference will feature several 
 notable speakers and presenters from the Sacramento area education 
 community and national organizations such as the Latino Leadership Council, 
 Sacramento Central Labor Council, California Teacher's Association, 
 Classified School Employees Assoication, SEIU Local 1000, California
