CCCSI operates a cultural enrichment program at Camp Afflerbaugh-Paige, a juvenile detention camp/high school in LaVerne. Since the program's inception, CCCSI has incorporated poetry and spoken word lessons into a continually developing literacy curriculum. We also offer enrichment programs in the visual and performing arts, as well as an outdoor classroom including organic gardening. At the end of each semester, Pitzer College hosts an event in celebration of the work completed by the wards at Afflerbaugh-Paige. Entitled “Borrowed Voices,” the event entails Pitzer students and community members reading Camp students' spoken word poetry and other works during evening peroformances. The Borrowed Voices event is so titled because the youths that author these works cannot leave the camp to read them in public. This year (2007-08) will be the first year the young men will be allowed to have their voices heard along with their words. Our intent is to disseminate this more positive side of Camp culture to educate the public at large, in particular, the Pitzer student body about the lives of Camp youth. A community book drive to augment the Camp library's holdings will also take place on performance evenings.

The Asian Youth Center (AYC) is a non-profit, community-based organization serving the social services needs of youth and families, with a focus on Asian immigrants. Our programs enable those we serve to adapt and contribute to a multi-cultural society.
AYC began in 1989 as a project of the United Way after its Asian Task Force found a critical lack of services for Asian youth. In the last ten years, AYC has expanded its scope to serve non-Asian youth and families as well, with culturally appropriate services in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Spanish and English.
AYC successfully opened the Youth Center in San Gabriel in 1997 and the Annex in 2003. Our combined facilities have more than 9,000 square feet of recreation areas, an indoor basketball court, computer labs, classrooms, and counseling rooms.

The Korea Policy Institute (KPI)

KPI is an independent research and educational institute that provides timely analysis of U.S. policies toward Korea and developments on the Korean peninsula. In the interest of promoting friendship between the peoples of the United States and Korea, KPI is guided by the premise that a reasonable U.S. policy towards Korea must be supportive of the legitimate desires of the Korean people for peace, sovereignty, reconciliation, and the reunification of Korea.
Policy institutes often work in isolation from communities and are disconnected from broader social movements. KPI was founded as a partnership among Korean American community advocates, policy professionals, and academics. In the make-up of its board and staff, and in the connections it has to other organizations, KPI places itself within a broad-based movement for peace and social justice. KPI keeps in close contact with a national network of Korean American community organizations, has built transnational bridges with social justice organizations in South Korea, and maintains ties with key organizations and individuals conducting humanitarian and development work in North Korea. Many of our fellows, advisory board members, and executive board members have been engaged for decades in on-the-ground peace, reunification, and humanitarian work.
