Do you want to create a project that can better your community? Join our Origins Youth program!
We are the Origin Youth group, a Youth Leadership cohort working with the Coalition for a Better Chinese American Community (CBCAC). We are working on an issue-based project for the summer. We want to create a solution so that our communities are better for us and learn some skills along the way!
We will explore topics/skills like Asian American identity, civic engagement, organizing, issues in our community, collaboration, leadership development, communication, and more.
***Students are eligible for a $150 stipend upon completion of the program***
Commitment:
- Weekly 1.5 hour meetings on Sundays at 12:30pm from February - June. You do not have to commit to the summer, but note that we will be implementing the project then.
- Orientation is Saturday 2/20/21 at 12pm. If you can't make it, let us know!
- All meetings are virtual until further notice.
Everyone who fills this form will be admitted into Origin and we are flexible with capacity. We are looking for a diversity in ages, identities, and backgrounds. We welcome all interests and past experiences.
