Youth - Civic Action for Racial and Social Equity

Youth are amazing and they when given the opportunity to be in environments that provide them equity to be change makers. Over the past 90 days, youth, with the support of PARTI teens and staff participated in conversations with adults through the U.S. Department of State and the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) to host conversations with international visitors from Tamil to provide feedback on our program designed to addressing critical issues pertaining to online safety for girls and young women. PARTI also partnered with the County of Santa Clara Internand Earn Program to provide supervised internships for 12 youth from foster care and/or, families who received county cash assistants.

PARTI youth led summers including:

• Providing 50 Silicon Valley youth and families with Bay Area Panther tickets, to the Arena Football League game courtesy of Meriwest Credit Union.
