2011 Summer Leadership Institute a Success
CYI's 8-week Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) held its final workshop on Saturday, August 13th. The closing of SLI was filled with the usual laughs, tears, and genuine statements of praise for fellow SLIers: a true testament to the bonds forged and community created in exploration of Chinatown, Asian American activism, and youth leadership this summer.
Thanks to all contributed to such a successful summer, particularly Co-Coordinators Vincent Fang and Jeffrey Louie; Facilitators Billy Kwan, Jenny Li, and Vivian Truong; and Junior Facilitators Julian Apostol, Judy Chen, and David Lu. Special thanks to Immigrant Social Services for so generously allowing SLI to hold both its staff training and closing session in their beautiful space.
Stay tuned for updates on SLI participants' action projects as they continue their work into the year!
