With support from the California Arts Council, La Raíz Magazine will organize San José Youth Poetry Ambassadors to provide bilingual youth workshops and events designed specifically for Raza & Chicano youth in San José, Santa Clara County, and the South Bay Area, in neighborhoods with large numbers of bilingual and monolingual Spanish-speaking youth, mixed migration status households, and working-class families. The programming will prioritize ages 5-18, and serve a limited amount of participants ages 19-25, during and after school at various sites within the community, with interactive, culturally-relevant, empowering workshops, performance opportunities, and arts events.
