Sorry for the last minute plug but AHS YP is holding a youth dialogue discussion tomorrow about issues they see in the community. We would love it, if some youth from Envision could make it out. It will be the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. We will have lunch from 12-1pm and the discussion will be from 1-3pm. I hope the youth can make it out.
More about what the you dialogue discussion is about.
We are kickstarting a project in hopes to amplify the voices of Oakland youth in preparation for the 2020 election.
Considering the diversity of Oakland and unique backgrounds and experiences of our community, we believe it is important for youth to have an opportunity to share their voices regardless of age and status.
By the end of 2019, our goal is to have a platform where youth can rally together about issues that affect them and their community. From February to May, we will hold youth discussions throughout Oakland to identify issues that impact them and how those needs
can be addressed. During the beginning of summer, we will have a gathering of key partners and participants to share and brainstorm themes that were highlighted from the discussions. This gathering will also help plan for a summit in September where youth
can express their stories through various art forms and collaborate on action steps to move forward.
