This school year, there have been too many acts of violence on k-12 and college campuses and it is impoertant to address this!
In January 2023, the youth of our organization, becuase of your support, organized and led the 23rd annual Martin Luther King Jr. Stop The Violence Event. Bay area youth, through the impact of your donations, partnered with youth, business and civic members, to lift up voices for safety, violence prevention, and mental wellness. Our project will support campaigns in Santa Clara County, Alameda County, San Mateo County and Los Angeles County.
Through your support, PARTI was featured as a spotlight GlobalGiving Camapign (@parti_program) for our project, Youth - Civic Action for Racial and Social Equity,which provides a platform for BIPOC youths to have equality and inclusion in civic, social, and service leadership. Beginning in March, we will focus on supporting youth to build campaigns that focus on gender equality and diversity and inclusion.
As we prepare for our ExPosure Bullying Campaign Sept- October, we intend to cater to youth voices NOW who want to address the trauma they are facing on these campuses that are facing violence.
You make a huge impact on the lives of youth who need inspiration, direction, and support. SInce our last campaign, we have impacted 350+ youth.
