TITLE
Recommendation to receive and file a report from Khmer Girls in Action's Invest in Youth Campaign.
DISCUSSION
Khmer Girls in Action is a community-based organization whose mission is to build a progressive and sustainable Long Beach community that works for gender, racial and economic justice led by Southeast Asian young women. Their vision is a safe, healthy and just world where all people are free from oppression and can determine their lives and communities.
KGA believes .in the leadership of Southeast Asian youth to create social change. According to the Long Beach Post, "The release of the Invest in Youth survey results culminated the groups' first-ever campaign during which youth leaders knocked on doors, conducted after-school phone banking and event tabling to complete a total of 750 surveys and hear what community members identified as top budget priorities. The surveys were taken primarily in the city's west, central and north areas because of the high concentration of poverty and health disparities."
This presentation will detail the results and provide recommendations moving forward for the City of Long Beach.
