Inclusion in cohorts to build youth equity.

By Winston Ashby | Project Leader

The youth in the Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact (PARTI) program have been privledged to be connected with amazing business executives and professionals who took time to mentor and connect them with service and career connection opportunities during the 2021-22 school year.

Because of your support, we were able to:

Provide youth led activities that engaged youth 13 cities in Santa Clara County and reached youth in San Mateo, Alameda and San Benito Counties.

Build youth led Stop The Campaigns in Santa Clara County and participate in cohorts to create Stop The Violence Events in San Mateo, Alameda and Los Angeles County.

Build platforms for youth to participate in cohorts that enabled them to have equity and inclusion with funders, educators, and youth development organizations.

"During distance learning, there were numerous times where I felt unmotivated and unhappy with my friendships and school life. The PARTI program had this inclusive environment that allowed me to talk to adults like Winston. I was able to create a plan moving forward to see how to manage all of the different things I was balancing in my life." 2021 participant
