My Story…
Hi All,
As some of you know, I’ve been a part of Japanese Youth Community Center (JCYC) for the last 5 years to create opportunities for local college students aspiring to be design professionals in the Bay Area.
I started as an intern and kept continuing for 4 summer and this summer, I worked as an OCII Program Coordinator. The majority of the students we serve come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and BIPOC communities. I have had the opportunity to get mentorship from JCYC/OCII directors and managers and also to mentor some of these amazing students, and have seen them grow into confident professionals who reach back to lift the next generation up. Meanwhile JCYC has been integral to our overall success, offering employment, mentorship, and financial support to students, well beyond any program requirements. They are truly an amazing organization!
Tomorrow, 9/24/2023, Sunday, I will be running a 10k to support all the amazing youth programs JCYC offers, including youth scholarships. Please support me and JCYC this weekend by contributing to my fundraising page! All money goes to directly to JCYC.
Thank you!
