The 2012 Kansha Project
The Chicago JACL is proud to announce an exciting new youth program for Japanese American college students. The Kansha Project is a program that connects Japanese American youth to the continuing legacy of the Japanese American community’s incarceration during World War II. The program will center around an educational trip to Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo neighborhood and the Manzanar concentration camp site in the summer of 2012.
The JACL Young Professionals are kicking of their Third Thursday programming aimed at the 20- and 30-something Asian Pacific American community. Every third Thursday of the month, the JACL YPs will hold social and educational events. Contact chicago@jacl.org to keep updated on all our upcoming events!
