Ethnic Studies YOLO Summer Academy Instruction 


Our Ethnic Studies YOLO Academy provides a transformative three to five day in-and-outdoor program. Its purpose is building community leadership, engaging in ethnic studies topics, and having a fun shared experience through art activism. Using curriculum, our educator facilitators, instructor, and counselor are experienced in culturally responsive and anti-racist educational practices that promote cross-cultural communication, education, and civic engagement among youth by affirming their  cultural and academic identities as well as the community wealth of their families and communities. 

This work is supported by Ethnic Studies interns:
