The hybrid format allowed us to engage with an average of 15 students per session from June to August 2021. We provided personal and professional development workshops, participated in a collaboration with the CA Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative for an art contest and discussion on civic engagement-related topics and issues, and demonstrated student success at a culminating showcase that brought together 40+ community members together at the Viet History Museum.

Weekly newsletters and bi-weekly ethnic radio shows were broadcast to distribute updates and information regarding welfare programs, food distribution, EDD/unemployment, and holistic care to community members that reached over 30,000 Facebook views and engagements via social media. As a part of our vaccine and testing equity campaign, we directed 100+ community members to get vaccinated, and distributed over 2000 COVID-19 rapid antigen tests at several cultural events.
