Title A name given to the resource Youth protestors Description An account of the resource Two youths march in a protest. One of them is wearing a shirt that says "YOUTH JUSTICE," potentially indicating their involvement in CAAAV's Youth Leadership Project. The Youth Leadership Project (YLP) was established by members of CAAAV’s Southeast Asian Organizing Collective who sought to address challenges of racism and poverty facing Vietnamese and Cambodian youth in the Fordham, Bronx area. The YLP held its first summer program in 1995, in which six local youths were trained in community organizing skills and educated on the history of racial violence and social injustice among Asian Americans broadly and Southeast Asians in the Bronx in particular. Some issues that the YLP identified as challenges for their communities included lack of sufficient educational support for Southeast Asian students and exploitative landlords and housing policies. The YLP significantly expanded in 1996 by hosting weekly workshops at high schools and hosting an eight-week summer institute on community organizing for Asian youth in the Bronx. Since then, the YLP has organized many workshops and actions such as distributing information about welfare rights, advocating for adequate Khmer translators at health care offices, and conducting research on community needs. The YLP has also often been involved in solidarity work with Black and Latino youth-led organizations and protests to address cross-cultural histories of racial injustice. Youth organizers continue to be a core component of CAAAV’s work today.
