How We Became Who We Are!
In 1999, when African American students in San Jose approached Winston Ashby, to help them to address violence and inclusion, their urgency sparked the need for an action plan that would address these concerns raised by students in their community and community. That request, twenty years ago, called for the formation of the Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact (PARTI) Program, which has been serving as an advocate and support for disenfranchised youth. We are assisting schools and civic leaders in developing action plans to help to partner schools, and community-based organizations to carry out deliverables that create positive connections that include: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for safer school climates. We are providing youth with leadership, financial literacy, and volunteer opportunities during COVID-19 shelter in place. In California, during the 2020-2021 school year, we will continue to provide socio-emotional support to disenfranchised youth that focuses on addressing core youth issues that affect them being successful in school during the 2020-2021 school year.
