Max shares his experience as a Summer 2022 CFS Fellow.
Through university-community partnerships, CFS trained one hundred and fourteen college and high school students as Summer 2022 fellows and youth action researchers in 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations to mentor other young leaders, conduct voter education, and support grassroots campaigns. These student leaders also collected, analyzed, and disseminated data that contributes to academic research and informs youth-led efforts.
Collectively, summer fellows registered over five thousand young people throughout California, hosted seven Youth Leadership Conferences and two community concerts featuring Las Cafeteras and Snow the Product, among other musical groups to inspire young people toward civic engagement.
CFS was led by Dr. Veronica Terriquez, UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center Director, and involved collaboration with the other ethnic studies research centers within the UCLA Institute of American Cultures, as well as faculty at other UC campuses, faculty at community colleges, and public high school teachers.
