Youth Activities

KIZUNA
Kizuna is all about building future leaders for our Japanese American community. The goal of Kizuna programs are to empower, engage and build activism amongst Nikkei youth. Additionally, they seek to create a space within our community and amongst our organization for youth to exercise their leadership in a way that benefits our community.
All of our programs utilize a hands on, interactive way of building skills, confidence and a knowledge base amongst the next generation. Kizuna mixes education with practical service learning.

• Creating an empowering culture and environment

• Engaging and advocating for the community by igniting the passion of young Japanese Americans
