Young Initiative Annual Report, 2020-21

young campus events and local partnerships The past year’s travel restrictions had a silver lining: They pushed the Young Initiative to double down on our commitment to connecting our students and faculty to “local” work in Los Angeles. As L.A. is a global city constituted by transnational communities, no place is more suitable to such global/local work. Our events and partnerships focused on social justice, community-driven action, and the potential of global norms to effect local change. This section introduces the events we held and the partnerships we solidified.
