Youth will have the opportunity to connect and discuss the different cultures within their communities, the language, the food, and the barriers faced by the community, and why it's vitally important to be proud of who we are, both individually and collectively.
This group will meet weekly on Tuesdays: 4:15-5:00
Groups are frequently isolated from each other: "Us" from "them" and "them " from "us." Often groups that are targeted feel that no one cares about "their" issues and they can't get help. Often non-target groups feel that their lives are not impacted by racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, etc.; they feel powerless, numb, and distant. Being an ally is an antidote to isolation for those targeted by oppression and those in the targeting role--it empowers everyone involved.
Our communities need the voices, opinions, and help of people from many different groups. As we reach out to groups, they will be more likely to become involved in and give their energy to the bigger community.
