The Cultural Appreciation Club @ CVHS is a youth-led affinity group seeking to build community by learning through our differences.

Letter from the Founder

Hello,

I am glad you discovered this.

I'm Jeramie Kim, an alumni of Crescent Valley High School.

I discovered my love for appreciating cultures through conversations with eclectic individuals at the Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center and Students Advocating For Equity group. Through these experiences, I further uncovered the underlying cultural misconceptions of our rural college town community in Oregon.

Vision of the Founder

In September of 2021, I took the initiative to create a youth-led affinity group to foster a more inclusive, positive environment with the objective of building community.

With the generous assistance of various educators and youth in our community, I hope the Cultural Appreciation Club @ CVHS can continue to grow as a distinguished force of change.

Thank you so much for allowing me to have the honor of leading this youth-led initiative!

Sincerely,

Jeramie Kim
