5/10- Pacific Islander Mana Youth Summit
We are excited to extend this personal invitation for the upcoming Pacific Islander Mana Youth Summit on Friday, May 10th 2024 at Skyline College. This year, the summit’s theme, “Embracing our Roots and Forging our Futures” hopes to bring youth together, allies, school administrators with leaders within the Pacific Islander community who want to share their stories of resilience, lived experience and journeys to support and uplift them towards violence reduction, academic success, promote higher education and career pathways. In an effort to address chronic absenteeism in our county, where Pacific Islanders have the highest rate at 44.9% among any other group including the state average.
To facilitate your students’ participation, please express your interest by contacting us at social@pcrcweb.org. Upon receiving your email, we will promptly forward the registration form necessary for your students’ attendance. It is important to note that each student must have a completed parent permission slip to partake in the summit activities.
We also require each school or group to provide at least one chaperone for every ten students attending, to ensure a safe and organized experience for everyone involved. Please be assured that there is no cost to attend the summit, as our goal is to make this an accessible opportunity for all students to see and hear from role models within the Pacific Islander community who have pursued higher education.
To support your school and students, we are pleased to offer transportation services for those who may require assistance in getting to the summit. We believe that access to education and developmental opportunities should be barrier-free, and we are prepared to help facilitate this for your student body.
If your school is interested in this offer or if you have any questions regarding the transportation arrangements, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at social@pcrcweb.org. We are here to assist in making the summit an accessible, inclusive, and impactful event for all students.
We look forward to the possibility of your school’s participation in what promises to be an inspirational and transformative event for your students. Please find the attached flyer and summit overview for your consideration. Feel free to share with others who may have an interest. We appreciate your partnership.
