Over the course of three internships year-round, we directly impact 25-30 students and 75-100 indirectly.
Community conversations and art workshops. These events are open to all in the community and are meant to foster cross-cultural and cross- generational dialogue and connections. Through these events we impact 800-1000 community members.
Color Compton Community Archive. Youth are equipped with the tools to create and contribute to a community archive. Youth develop critical conversation around archives and the archiving process and develop an accessible catalogue for the larger community. Our cohort fellowship consists of 8-10 directly impacted students
