Description
The JACL is proud to announce the Statewide 2009 Project: Community! program intended to empower the High School youth voice in the JA community. The program also seeks to give participants a sense of identity and understanding of their place in the community.
Started in 2008 by the Pacific Southwest District of the JACL, the project has spread to Northern California with both programs set to run through the summer of 2009. Each program will focus on the Japantowns in each area, San Francisco Japantown in Northern CA, and Little Tokyo in Southern CA. JACL recognizes that in order for these communities to survive, interest from youth is needed. Each session of the program will help participants better understand important community issues such as: the power of place, community organizations, and grassroots organizing.
