MORE is a bold new program that seeks to bring youth of color and their allies together to implement and support social change efforts targeting racial justice. Based on this foundation of shared understanding, empathy, and allyship, youth will work together to examine how structural racism impacts housing, transportation, immigration, health, and education in Marin — and the ways in which current systems create barriers to success for youth of color. This work is designed to culminate in supporting existing community efforts from a youth perspective in addition to the selection of individual issues to tackle through the MORE-led design and implementation of a social change campaign. We will be meeting weekly on Monday's, in San Rafael, from 4:45 to 5:45pm.
All Marin County residents between the ages of 12-21 years are eligible — ethnically and culturally diverse youth are highly encouraged to apply. For any questions please contact ssaltzman@yli.org
